Anthropic

Anthropic is a technology company building safe, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. The company offers AI research and products that are designed to be safe, with a focus on making sure models are capable and trustworthy for a wide range of use cases. One of its main products is Claude, a highly advanced AI assistant for conversational tasks, data analysis, and code generation.

Some of the features Claude offers include:

• Advanced Reasoning: Perform cognitive tasks that go beyond pattern recognition and text generation.
• Vision Analysis: Transcribe and analyze static images, including handwritten notes and photographs.
• Code Generation: Generate websites in HTML and CSS, convert images to structured JSON data, and debug code bases.
• Multilingual Processing: Translate between languages in real-time, practice grammar, or generate multilingual content.

Claude comes in three models:

• Haiku: Fast and cost-effective for lightweight tasks, with industry-leading speed.
• Sonnet: Balances performance and speed for efficient, high-throughput tasks.
• Opus: Best for complex analysis, longer tasks, and higher-order math and coding tasks.

Claude pricing includes:

• Free: Access to Claude on the web and iOS, with basic features.
• Pro: Includes access to Opus, priority access during high-traffic periods, and early access to new features, $20 per person/month.
• Team: Higher usage limits, central billing, and early access to collaboration features, $30 per person/month (minimum of 5 members).

Anthropic places a strong focus on the safety and trustworthiness of its AI solutions. The company has obtained SOC II Type 2 certification and HIPAA compliance options for its API, ensuring enterprise-grade security and data handling. In addition, its models are designed to be 10 times more resistant to misuse and offer copyright indemnity protections.

Anthropic's research teams are working on safer, steerable, and more reliable AI models, with a focus on reducing the risks of AI development. The company has a dedicated team for tracking and mitigating potential misuse, such as misinformation, CSAM, and biological misuse.

Claude API is available for developers, with a proof-of-concept launch and scaling options. The API grants access to all Claude models, usage-based tiers, and automatically increasing rate limits. Pricing for the API is based on million tokens (MTok), with rates varying by model:

• Haiku: Input $0.25/MTok, Output $1.25/MTok
• Sonnet: Input $3/MTok, Output $15/MTok
• Opus: Input $15/MTok, Output $75/MTok

Anthropic is committed to improving the capabilities and safety of its AI models, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with AI while ensuring positive societal outcomes.
