AI startup Anthropic has announced the latest version of its GenAI tech, Claude 3, claiming it outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-4. The new GenAI, Claude 3, is a family of models – Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Opus, with Opus being the most powerful. These models show increased capabilities in analysis and forecasting. Notably, Claude 3 is Anthropic’s first multimodal GenAI, meaning it can analyze text as well as images. However, there are limits to Claude 3’s image processing. It struggles with tasks involving spatial reasoning and object counting, and it won’t generate artwork. The models are strictly image-analyzing. Customers can expect Claude 3 to better follow multi-step instructions, produce structured output in formats like JSON, and converse in languages other than English compared to its predecessors. It should also refuse to answer questions less often thanks to a more nuanced understanding of requests. Soon, the models will cite the source of their answers to questions so users can verify them.
