Will OpenAI’s rival takeover the tech world
In the midst of OpenAI’s existential musings, Anthropic, a Google-backed AI startup founded by former OpenAI engineers, emerges with a chatbot update that’s making waves. Meet Claude 2.1 – Anthropic’s latest creation that’s not just a chatbot but a literary powerhouse.
What sets Claude 2.1 apart?
Well, for starters, it can digest a whopping 200,000 tokens at once, a feat that’s being hailed as an “industry first.” To put it in perspective, that’s over 500 pages of material – the kind of reading that would make even the most ardent bookworm envious.
But that’s not all. Claude has undergone a truth makeover; it will now hallucinate (or lie, for those in the know) half as often as before. It’s like having a chat with Pinocchio post-fairy dust intervention. Moreover, Claude has acquired some nifty skills – from web searching to calculator wizardry, all thanks to customizable tools.
Our new model Claude 2.1 offers an industry-leading 200K token context window, a 2x decrease in hallucination rates, system prompts, tool use, and updated pricing.
