Claude 3.5 Sonnet is faster and more efficient than its predecessors, with improved capabilities in analyzing photos and interpreting charts and graphs. It also has a context window of 200,000 tokens, equivalent to about 150,000 words. The model is available for free users of Anthropic's web client and the Claude iOS app, and is also live on Anthropic's API and managed platforms like Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud's Vertex AI.
Key takeaways:
- Anthropic is releasing a new generative AI model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which can analyze both text and images as well as generate text, and it outperforms previous models in several AI benchmarks.
- Alongside the new model, Anthropic is also releasing Artifacts, a workspace where users can edit and add to content generated by Anthropic’s models.
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet is faster and more performant than its predecessor, Claude 3 Opus, and can interpret charts and graphs more accurately and transcribe text from imperfect images.
- Despite incremental progress in AI models, there hasn't been a major leap in performance due to the rigidity of today's model architectures and the immense compute they require to train.
