AI startup Anthropic — backed by Google and Amazon — unveils new chatbot to rival ChatGPT
NY Post
Artificial-intelligence startup Anthropic — whose backers include Google and Amazon — on Monday launched an updated group of AI chatbots called Claude 3, claiming they are its fastest and most powerful yet.
The company claims Claude 3 Opus, the most intelligent of its three new models, outperforms Google’s Gemini Ultra and OpenAI’s GPT-4 across industry benchmark tests, including level expert knowledge, graduate-level expert reasoning, and basic mathematics.
“It exhibits near-human levels of comprehension and fluency on complex tasks, leading the frontier of general intelligence,” Anthropic said in a statement.
OpenAI’s GPT-4, launched by OpenAI last spring, has remained one of the most potent chatbot technologies embraced by both consumers and businesses.
Now, Anthropic users can input charts, photos, documents, and other types of unstructured data for analysis, and the chatbot answers in text. Companies like Airtable and Asana helped A/B test the models, the company told CNBC.
Claude 3 can summarize up to about 150,000 words in the form of a memo, letter, or story. By contrast, ChatGPT can comprehend about 3,000 words.
