Introducing Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Anthropic's Most Intelligent Model Yet
Anthropic has just released Claude 3.5 Sonnet, a significant upgrade to their Claude model family that sets new benchmarks for AI intelligence, performance, and versatility. This powerful language model outperforms competitor models and even Anthropic's own Claude 3 Opus on a wide range of evaluations, including graduate-level reasoning, undergraduate-level knowledge, and coding proficiency.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet operates at twice the speed of Claude 3 Opus while maintaining cost-effective pricing, making it ideal for complex tasks such as context-sensitive customer support and multi-step workflow orchestration. In internal agentic coding evaluations, Sonnet solved 64% of problems compared to Opus's 38%, demonstrating exceptional ability to fix bugs, add functionality to codebases, and perform code translations.
Artifacts: A New Way to Collaborate with Claude
One of the most exciting features of Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the introduction of Artifacts on Claude.ai. When users ask Claude to generate content like code snippets, text documents, or website designs, these Artifacts appear in a dedicated window alongside their conversation. This creates a dynamic workspace where users can see, edit, and build upon Claude's creations in real-time, seamlessly integrating AI-generated content into their projects and workflows.
Artifacts mark a significant evolution from conversational AI to a collaborative work environment. Anthropic envisions Artifacts expanding to support team collaboration, enabling organizations to centralize their knowledge, documents, and ongoing work in one shared space, with Claude serving as an on-demand teammate.
Accessing Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is available for free on Claude.ai and the Claude iOS app, while Claude Pro and Team plan subscribers can access it with significantly higher rate limits. It is also available via the Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud's Vertex AI, with pricing of $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, and a 200K token context window.
The Future of Claude
Anthropic plans to expand the Claude 3.5 model family with upcoming releases of Claude 3.5 Haiku and Claude 3.5 Opus later this year. The company is also developing new modalities and features to support more business use cases, including enterprise application integrations and personalization features like Memory, which will enable Claude to remember user preferences and interaction history.
With its advanced capabilities, speed, and cost-effectiveness, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is poised to revolutionize how businesses and individuals utilize AI in their workflows. By integrating Sonnet with platforms like Teneo, organizations can enhance customer support, automate complex tasks, and provide more personalized, context-aware solutions.
