Anthropic's new Claude 3.5 Sonnet is FREE and better than GPT-4o
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the first release in the forthcoming Claude 3.5 model family and is set to compete with OpenAI's GPT-4o model.
When OpenAI released the GPT-4o model and made it completely free for everyone, a big chunk of Claude and Gemini users, including myself, switched to ChatGPT. The $20 per month subscription for Claude Opus and Gemini Pro isn’t worth it anymore because GPT-4o was outperforming these models on various tasks.
But today, Anthropic is trying to win back its users with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which they claim is better than GPT-4o. What’s even more exciting? It’s completely free for everyone!
What is Claude 3.5 Sonnet?
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the newest version of Anthropic’s family of AI models. It is designed to understand and create text better than before. Building on the previous versions, Claude 3.5 Sonnet is set to be more accurate, faster, and more reliable.
Anthropic wants it to compete directly with OpenAI’s GPT-4o and hopes users will come back for its new capabilities. This new model also outperforms Anthropic’s own Claude 3 Opus model on a wide range of evaluations, with speed and cost.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the first release in the forthcoming Claude 3.5 model family. So it means Anthropic is cooking up something even bigger with the next iteration of the Opus model.
If you aren’t familiar with the Claude models yet, here’s a full list.
