Anthropic Touts New AI Model as 'Most Intelligent Yet'

Anthropic launched a new AI model Thursday which it says is its "most intelligent model yet." The new model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, is reportedly twice as fast as Claude 3 Opus, the company's previous best-in-class AI, and five times cheaper to run. Following a trend set by its competitor OpenAI--which just last month released the newest version of ChatGPT, GPT-4o--Claude 3.5 Sonnet is free for all users on the web and iOS to access. It has also been made available to developers. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is "now the most intelligent model in the world," claims Michael Gerstenhaber, a product manager at the company.
