Anthropic, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup, is preparing to launch a new AI model named Claude 3.5 Sonnet, positioning itself in direct competition with OpenAI.
The company had previously introduced Claude 3 in March 2024 and has now updated it to Claude 3.5, boasting significantly improved speed and efficiency.
According to the company, the new version of the model operates twice as fast as its predecessor, showcasing enhanced capabilities in critical areas such as coding and text-based reasoning. Anthropic claims that Claude 3.5 will surpass leading competitors like OpenAI in these aspects.
Daniela Amodei, president of the tech startup, expressed enthusiasm about the release: “This is exciting because, based on our evaluations and benchmarks, this is now the most advanced and intelligent model in the industry. We aim for it to become the preferred choice for enterprise businesses across various sectors.”
Amodei, who co-founded the firm, emphasized Anthropic’s strategic focus on developing practical AI solutions tailored for business clients. “We prioritize functionalities that are directly relevant to enterprise needs, rather than pursuing research-oriented outputs like generating images, such as those of snowboarding cats,” she explained.
