Claude

Researchers at the AI company Anthropic say they have made a fundamental breakthrough in our understanding of exactly how large language models, the type of AI responsible for the current boom, work.

The deal will bring flagship model Claude, to thousands of corporate customers, including Comcast, Conde Nast and Block.

Champlain College and Anthropic, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) safety and research, today announced a strategic collaboration to leverage Claude, Anthropic's state-of-the-art assistant, to advance AI in higher education and workforce development.

According to Anthropic, when it first launched the "Claude Plays Pokémon" project, previous versions of its AI agent Claude failed at some very basic tasks. For example, according to Anthropic, Claude 3.5 would try to run away from almost every battle in June 2024.

Anthropic introduced web search capabilities for its AI assistant Claude, enabling the assistant to access current information online. Previously, the latest AI model that powers Claude could only rely on data absorbed during its neural network training process,

Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.7 with reasoning displayed the behavior much more often than generative AI models without reasoning, including GPT-4.5.

OpenAI rival Anthropic suggests its Claude AI chatbot may soon be able to control desktop computers with voice.

Recording in both situations requires a two-second press to start the recording, and the small LED of the "A" in the Plaud logo glows red with a small vibration just to confirm. Once you've finished recording, another press and the red light extinguishes. Really, it's as easy as pushing the record button on a dictaphone.
