Starting today, users in Europe can access Claude, Amazon-backed AI startup Anthropics proper ChatGPT contender.
However, others have also been busy honing their craft and algorithms.
However, today we finally got to try out the ChatGPT rival for ourselves.
(The API has been available to developers for a couple of months.)
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
The main thing we can say after playing around for less than an hour is that it is fast.
It also feels more… human?
Which is simultaneously impressive and disconcerting.
Opus is Anthropics most intelligent model.
According to its developers, itoutperforms its peerson most of the common evaluation benchmarks for AI systems.
Claude is available through the web-based Claude.ai, an iOS app, and via a team plan for businesses.
However, when prompted, it tells me it does not speak Swedish fluently.
However it can process and analyse visual input.
On the same day Anthropic released Claude on our side of the pond, OpenAI launched GPT-4o.
Beyond LLM performance rivalry, Anthropic is positioning itself as the company who emphasises safety in developing AI.
The San Francisco-based startup claims to prioritise research on societal, safety, and security risks.
Either way, Claude is here.
Let the European chapter of the chatbot wars commence in earnest.
