🗞️ The Latest in AI: Anthropic launches ChatGPT competitor Claude 2

Antrhopic announced the release of its second-gen AI chatbot, Claude 2, on Tuesday. It is available for public testing in the US and UK.

Claude 2 can summarize up to 75,000 words, a massive step up from ChatGPT’s 3,000-word limit. Claude 2’s knowledge cutoff is early 2023, while GPT-4’s cutoff is September 2021. It also outperforms ChatGPT on the GRE writing, HumanEval coding and Bar exam.

The chatbot scored slightly higher than its previous model, Claude 1.3, in all of these areas. Claude 2 is also capable of passing the multiple choice portion of the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam.

Claude 2 has greatly improved coding skills. It scored 71.2% up from 56.0% on the Codex HumanEval. It’s a 5x cheaper option than ChatGPT for developers.
