anthropicis an artificial intelligence startup founded by former executives of OpenAI and supported by Googleunveiled its latest text generating AI model called Claude 2. The company has made an announcement that people in the US and UK can try out the latest version of its conversational bot, cloud 2through their website.
The company says Cloud is a “friendly, upbeat coworker or personal assistant” that can understand natural language commands and assist with a variety of tasks.
Cloud 2 is an advanced version of the older Cloud (Cloud 1.3), with the ability to search through documents, provide summaries, write content, code, and answer specific questions. Anthropic, the developer, claims that Cloud 2 outperforms its predecessor in several aspects.
An example of the difference between Claud 1.3 and Claud 2 is their performance on the multiple-choice section of the bar exam. Cloud 2 scored slightly higher, with 76.5%, compared to Cloud 1.3’s 73%.
Additionally, Cloud 2 was able to pass the multiple-choice portion of the US medical licensing exam and performed better on the Codex Human Level Python coding test, with a score of 71.2% compared to Cloud 1.3’s 56%.
The second generation AI chatbot was able to answer more math problems correctly with 88% on the GSM8K collection of grade-school level problems, which is 2.8 percentage points higher than Cloud 1.3.
Anthropic recently expanded the cloud’s reference window to approximately 75,000 words. This allows you to upload multiple pages, or even a full-length novel, for the bot to analyze. Other models have much smaller limits, with ChatGPT maxing out at around 3,000 words.
Unlike Bard and Bing, Cloud 2 is not yet connected to the Internet. It has been trained on data up to December 2022, so it may not provide the latest information on current events.
Cloud 2’s training data included a mix of websites, third-party licensed data sets, and user data from the beginning of 2023, of which about 10% was non-English.
The Google-backed AI startup first launched the chatbot in March. However, at the time, the chatbot was only available to businesses on request or as a Slack app.
