Introduction to Claude, the Rival of ChatGPT
Anthropic, a challenger to the market leader in AI technology, OpenAI, is stepping up its game with the introduction of Claude, its proprietary chatbot, now available on iPhones. Comprised of former OpenAI personnel who diverged from the company due to disparities with CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic's Claude offers a formidable competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT, boasting superior intelligence capabilities in certain aspects. The company's aim is to seamlessly integrate Claude into users' daily lives, acknowledging the central role that smartphones play in modern technology interactions.
Claude: The Next Generation AI Assistant for Mobile Devices
Scott White of Anthropic emphasizes the significance of meeting users on their preferred devices, particularly mobile phones, to enhance the functionality of Claude as a true AI assistant. By offering the third iteration of the Claude large language model on their website, Anthropic provides users with three distinct versions: the quick and straightforward "haiku" model, the more robust "sonnet" model, and the comprehensive "opus" system, exclusive to paying customers.

The Opus system, a standout performer in the LMSys chatbot ranking, surpassing GPT-4, boasts an extensive "context window" capable of retaining up to 160,000 words during conversations. This feature enables users to input lengthy texts such as novels and seek follow-up inquiries, showcasing Claude's advanced capabilities.

While ChatGPT has reigned largely unchallenged on user devices, OpenAI's iOS app facing minimal competitors since its launch in May last year, Claude's arrival signals a shift in the market dynamics. Anthropic's Claude app not only prioritizes user-friendly experiences but also introduces innovative features, such as utilizing the device's camera and photo library with user consent.
For business users, this means leveraging Claude to summarize whiteboard diagrams or identify plant species encountered during outdoor activities. Anthropic's expansion into the corporate realm with a "team" plan further underscores its commitment to AI safety and advancement, aiming to foster a positive impact on industry practices and standards.
