 Anthropic launches newest AI model, three months after its last

Anthropic, a startup backed by Google and Amazon.com on Thursday released an updated artificial intelligence model and a new layout to boost user productivity, continuing an industry sprint to push technology's frontier.

Three months after rolling out its Claude 3 family of AI models, Anthropic said it was launching Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Compared with Claude 3 Opus which CEO Dario Amodei in March called the "Rolls-Royce of models" - Anthropic's latest system scores higher on benchmark exams, runs about twice as fast, and is priced for software developers at a fifth the cost.

AI "models are a bit more fungible than cars," Amodei told Reuters. "I don't have to buy them and hold onto them for 20 years. That's one advantage of our field. "Like Anthropic, ChatGPT's creator OpenAI, Google and others are similarly touting AI advances at a breakneck pace.
