Anthropic introduced Claude 3.5 Sonnet, an updated version of its Claude 3 model that it just released in March. The company said Thursday that the new model — the technology that underpins its popular chatbot Claude — is twice as fast as its most powerful previous version. Anthropic said in its evaluations, the model outperforms leading competitors like OpenAI on several key intelligence capabilities, such as coding and text-based reasoning.
“This is exciting because this is now, based on our evaluations and benchmarks, the best and most intelligent model in the industry,” Daniela Amodei, Anthropic’s co-founder and president, said in an interview. “We are aiming for this to be the model of choice for enterprise businesses across the stack.”
