Anthropic unveiled Claude, an LLM tool that can perform ChatGPT-like tasks.

Like ChatGPT, Claude is an AI assistant that can write code, generate text, and perform other tasks. Anthropic used a method it calls "Constitutional AI" to train the model, which was inspired by the main functional area of the security of future AI systems. For a small "early access" group of users as well as Anthropic's business partners, two versions of the AI model, Claude and "Claude Instant," are currently available. Claude can be used by those with access through an application programming interface (API) or a chat interface in the developer console of Anthropic. Claude's analysis and text completion features can be added to apps by developers using the API to remotely connect to Anthropic's servers.

The company lists examples of use for its software in coding, summarizing, and searching. Claude can also alter personality, tone, or behavior based on user preference, just like ChatGPT's API. Anthropic is charging per million characters inputted and outputted to sell Claude. OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo AI model costs $0.002 per 1,000 tokens (word fragments), whereas Claude Instant costs $0.42 for prompt input and $1.45 for output for every million characters. The larger model, "Claude-v1," costs $2.90 per million characters input and $8.60 per million characters output. Although there isn't a set conversion between tokens and characters, our calculations show that Claude is more expensive overall than OpenAI's ChatGPT API, which costs between $0.40 to $0.50 per million characters. Anthropic claims that Claude has already been incorporated into several products made available through partners, including DuckAssist instant summaries from DuckDuckGo, a portion of Notion AI, and an AI chat application called Poe developed by Quora.

Other OpenAI employees were also present, including Tom Brown, who oversaw the engineering work on GPT-3. Later, ChatGPT used a revision of GPT-3 as its primary language model. The Verge claims that in exchange for a 10% stake in Anthropic, Google invested $300 million in the company in late 2022. It does not appear likely that Google will use Anthropic for AI solutions in its products based on the company's plans for Bard and the PaLM API, but funding a competitor to OpenAI could be in Google's best interests in the long run from a strategic standpoint. Anthropic intends to keep advancing Claude for the time being.
