Anthropic releases Claude 3.5 Sonnet model, claiming to outperform competitors at the speed and cost of its mid-tier model. The chatbot version promises to raise the industry standard for intelligence with improved performance and capabilities.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet operates twice as fast as its predecessor, excelling at complex tasks and writing high-quality content with nuanced humor and relatable tones. Anthropic touts its coding and troubleshooting abilities, ideal for legacy application updates and code migrations.

Anthropic challenges OpenAI with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, offering it for free on Claude.ai and the iOS app. Pro and Team plan subscribers gain access with higher rate limits. Despite positive claims, skepticism arises over the accuracy of AI model performance based on past industry controversies.

US psychologist Gary Marcus warns against blindly accepting Anthropic’s claims about Claude 3.5 Sonnet, emphasizing the need for evidence beyond anecdotal examples. The announcement follows the company’s recent release of the Claude chatbot in Europe and only a few months after unveiling the Claude 3 family of models.

Anthropic aims to open an office in Dublin, marking its first EU location, amidst growing attention due to its advanced AI technology. The company, backed by tech giants like Google and Amazon, continues to make strides in the AI industry with its innovative models and ongoing developments.
