The model originates from core concerns about future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anthropic.com\/index\/core-views-on-ai-safety\">AI safety<\/a> and Anthropic has trained it using a technique it calls &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2212.08073\">Constitutional AI<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Two versions of the AI model, Claude and &#8220;Claude Instant,&#8221; are available now for a limited &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.anthropic.com\/earlyaccess\">early access<\/a>&#8221; group and to commercial partners of Anthropic. Those with access can use Claude through either a chat interface in Anthropic&#8217;s developer console or via an application programming interface (API). With the API, developers can hook into Anthropic&#8217;s servers remotely and add Claude&#8217;s analysis and text completion abilities to their apps.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic claims that Claude is &#8220;much less likely to produce harmful outputs, easier to converse with, and more steerable&#8221; than other AI chatbots while maintaining &#8220;a high degree of reliability and predictability.&#8221; The company cites use cases such as search, summarization, collaborative writing, and coding. And, like <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/03\/chatgpt-and-whisper-apis-debut-allowing-devs-to-integrate-them-into-apps\/\">ChatGPT&#8217;s API<\/a>, Claude can change personality, tone, or behavior depending on use preference.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/807686537?color=ff9933\" width=\"980\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p><figcaption>\n<p>A promotional video showcasing Claude from Anthropic.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To sell Claude, Anthropic is charging for usage per million characters input and output. Whereas OpenAI&#8217;s gpt-3.5-turbo AI model is $0.002 per 1,000 tokens (fragments of a word), Claude Instant is available for $0.42 per million characters as prompt input and $1.45 per million characters for output. &#8220;Claude-v1,&#8221; the larger model, comes in at $2.90 per million characters input and $8.60 per million characters output. While there is no standard conversion between tokens and characters, our back-of-the-envelope calculation is that OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT API is about $0.40 to $0.50 per million characters, so Claude is more expensive in general.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/price_comparison_chart.jpg\" data-height=\"220\" data-width=\"871\" alt=\"A table that compares prices of OpenAI's ChatGPT API and the two Claude APIs, based on a rough estimate of four characters per token.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A table that compares prices of OpenAI's ChatGPT API and the two Claude APIs, based on a rough estimate of four characters per token.\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/price_comparison_chart-640x162.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"162\" ><\/a><figcaption>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/price_comparison_chart.jpg\" data-height=\"220\" data-width=\"871\">Enlarge<\/a> <span>\/<\/span> A table that compares prices of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT API and the two Claude APIs, based on a rough estimate of four characters per token.<\/p>\n<p>Ars Technica<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to Anthropic, Claude has already been integrated into several products available through partners, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/03\/wikipedia-ai-truth-duckduckgo-hopes-so-with-new-answerbot\/\">DuckAssist<\/a> instant summaries from DuckDuckGo, a portion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notion.so\/product\/ai\">Notion AI<\/a>, and an AI chat app called <a href=\"https:\/\/poe.com\/login\">Poe<\/a>\u00a0that was created by Quora.<\/p>\n<p>Former OpenAI VP of research Dario Amodei and his sister Daniela founded Anthropic in 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanielaAmodei\/status\/1398306463945158656?s=20\">as<\/a> &#8220;an AI safety and research company&#8221; after a disagreement over OpenAI&#8217;s increasingly commercial direction. Amodi brought along other OpenAI staff such as Tom Brown, who led engineering work on GPT-3. A <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2022\/11\/openai-conquers-rhyming-poetry-with-new-gpt-3-update\/\">revision<\/a> of GPT-3 later served as the foundational language model at the heart of <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2022\/12\/openai-invites-everyone-to-test-new-ai-powered-chatbot-with-amusing-results\/\">ChatGPT<\/a>. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/2\/3\/23584540\/google-anthropic-investment-300-million-openai-chatgpt-rival-claude\">The Verge<\/a>, Google invested $300 million in Anthropic in late 2022 in exchange for 10 percent of the company.<\/p>\n<p>Based on Google&#8217;s announced plans for <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2023\/02\/in-paris-demo-google-scrambles-to-counter-chatgpt-but-ends-up-embarrassing-itself\/\">Bard<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/3\/14\/23639313\/google-ai-language-model-palm-api-challenge-openai\">PaLM<\/a> API, it seems unlikely that Google will rely on Anthropic for AI solutions in its products, but funding a rival to OpenAI might be in Google&#8217;s strategic best interest down the road. For now, Anthropic plans to continue development and improvement of Claude.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We plan to introduce even more updates in the coming weeks,&#8221; Anthropic writes. &#8220;As we develop these systems, we&#8217;ll continually work to make them more helpful, honest, and harmless as we learn more from our safety research and our deployments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1924161\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Benj Edwards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>adventures in bot news \u2014 Anthropic aims for &#8220;safer&#8221; and &#8220;less harmful&#8221; AI, but at a higher price.
