Anthropic Releases Generative AI 'Claude 3.5'... "Surpasses GPT-4o"

Twice as Fast as Claude 3 Opus
Leading GPT-4o and Others in Chart and Document Comprehension Evaluation

Anthropic, a competitor of OpenAI, has launched its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, 'Claude 3.5 Sonnet.' It is evaluated to outperform not only its own existing models but also competing models such as GPT-4o in terms of processing speed, data interpretation, and reasoning ability.

On the 20th (local time), Anthropic announced, "We are unveiling Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which operates at twice the speed of the existing AI model Claude 3 Opus," adding, "It demonstrates industry-leading performance in visual reasoning abilities such as interpreting charts and graphs." This release comes three months after Anthropic introduced three versions of the Claude 3 series and is the first model in the evolved 3.5 product line.

According to Anthropic's self-assessment data, Claude 3.5 Sonnet scored 90.8% and 95.2% in multimodal (complex information processing) task performance, specifically in chart and document comprehension, respectively. This surpasses OpenAI's GPT-4o (85.7%, 92.8%) as well as Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro (87.2%, 93.1%).

The company explained, "(Claude 3.5 Sonnet) has noticeably improved abilities in understanding nuances, humor, and complex instructions," and "it also possesses problem-solving skills that allow it to independently write, edit, and execute code." Additionally, they plan to introduce an 'Artifact' feature that enables multiple people to collaborate based on code or documents generated by the Claude chatbot.

Daniela Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic, emphasized in an interview with Bloomberg News, "In terms of self-assessment and benchmarks, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the most excellent and intelligent model in the industry," and added, "We are focusing on building AI models optimized for businesses." Currently, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is partially available for free on the dedicated Claude website and app.

Anthropic is a startup founded in 2021 by siblings Daniela and Dario Amodei, who were among the founding members of OpenAI. The company has raised $6 billion from Google, Amazon, and others, with a total of $7.3 billion raised through five funding rounds last year alone. CNBC noted, "The generative AI market is expected to reach $1 trillion (approximately 1,400 trillion KRW) within 10 years," and pointed out, "Competition among IT companies, including startups like OpenAI and Anthropic, is intensifying to avoid falling behind in this market."
