Anthropic just raised the bar for AI. Again.
The AI startup, which was founded by a team of former OpenAI researchers in 2021, has announced Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the first in its upcoming 3.5-era line of generative AI models. Anthropic says the new model is significantly smarter and cheaper than its current most powerful model, Claude 3 Opus, not to mention twice as fast. It has clear use cases for IT, customer service, and financial services.
In a blog post introducing the new model, Anthropic wrote that Claude 3.5 Sonnet sets new industry benchmarks, outperforming OpenAI’s flagship model, GPT-4o, at graduate-level reasoning and coding proficiency. The company also claims the new and improved Claude shows “marked improvement in grasping nuance, humor, and complex instructions, and is exceptional at writing high-quality content with a natural, relatable tone.”
