Recognizing the profound influence that AI is poised to have on the world, Anthropic is committed to designing systems that are dependable, transparent, and controllable. The company is focused on AI safety and research, exploring both the potential benefits and potential risks of AI.

The three versions of Claude 3 – Opus, Sonnet and Haiku – vary in performance and price. According to Anthropic's CEO, the Claude 3 Opus, the most powerful and expensive version, is “in many respects the best-performing model in the world across a range of tasks.”

Productivity software maker Asana found a 42% improvement in initial response time. Fellow software company Airtable said it has integrated Claude 3 Sonnet into its own AI tool to speed up content creation and data summarisation.

Product

Similar to ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude is a large language model that can be used for a range of written tasks like summarizing, searching, answering questions and coding. The company is positioning its chatbot as more cautious from the start. It’s meant to be harder to wring offensive results from it. Thanks to its ethical approach and its ability to produce reliable and secure results, Claude is emerging as one of the most promising chatbots on the market.

Anthropic has already provided its technology to a number of companies, including SAP, Bridgewater, Asana, Gitlab, Slack, Notion, Quora, DuckDuckGo, Robin AI, and AssemblyAI (Claude supports its audio data transcription and comprehension API platform).

According to Autumn Besselman, Head of People and Communications at Quora, users appreciate Claude's detailed and understandable responses and the natural feel of their conversations. Users have described Claude as more interactive and creative in storytelling than ChatGPT, and they appreciate the combination of language skills and expertise in Claude's responses.

Akshay Kothari, Notion's Co-Founder and COO, stated that the partnership's goal is to help users enhance their productivity using AI. Claude's exceptional creative writing and summarization capabilities contribute to Notion AI, their connected AI assistant. With this integration, Notion users can enhance their writing skills and work more efficiently.

Robin AI, a legal infrastructure company, is using Claude to revolutionize contracts. According to Robin AI CEO Richard Robinson, Claude is proficient in interpreting legal language and proposing customer-friendly alternatives. The technology's drafting, summarizing, and translation capabilities are exemplary. Since integrating Claude, Robin AI has observed increased user engagement, better feedback, and more successful deals.
