Recently, Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI family that is supported by Alphabet, Salesforce, and Amazon and that has raised $7.3 billion over the last year, has announced a new AI model: Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
According to Anthropic, Claude 3.5 Sonnet…
Is twice as fast and 5 times cheaper than its predecessors, also outperforming other AI models like ChatGPT-4o and Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro.
Is capable of displaying nuance and humor, making its usage more authentic.
Is going to dynamically display generated content in real time to be updated, such as with code or web design. This system will be called “Artifacts” and is likely targeted towards enterprise users.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet will be available for free up to a certain limit while Anthropic’s target audience enterprises can access it more frequently.
Anthropic’s claims of Claude 3.5 Sonnet being the “Most Intelligent” AI are audacious and yet to be verified, but they underscore the fact that the AI space is ever changing and is highly relevant to the economy and our lives. OpenAI’s ChatGPT might be the most prominent chatbot in the public imagination, but it is only one of several viable options, such as Anthropic’s Claude or Google’s Gemini. As with most industries, competition is healthy and one should never let their investment decisions or economic knowledge be clouded by the popularity of just one company.
