In the never-stopping world of generative artificial intelligence, the latest step has been taken by Anthropic, an American start-up (founded by Italian-Americans Dario and Daniela Amodei), considered by analysts to be the main competitor to OpenAI and Google in closed-source AI;
In the past few hours, in fact, Anthropic (which enjoys a billion-dollar partnership with Amazon) unveiled the latest generation of its family of large language models: Claude 3.5 Sonnet. And according to the Californian start-up itself, this LLM (large language model) brings substantial performance improvements on a number of benchmark tests.
The Claude model family is divided into three LLM versions, starting with the simplest, Haiku, passing through Sonnet and ending with Opus, which is the most powerful. According to Anthropic, Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperforms Claude 3 Opus in terms of performance in benchmarks.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet "runs twice as fast as Claude 3 Opus," claim Anthropic in their official blog. "This performance boost, combined with affordable pricing, makes Claude 3.5 Sonnet ideal for complex tasks such as context-sensitive customer support and multi-step workflow orchestration."
The new model seems to be better at understanding humour and is able to write in a much more human way than its predecessors.
