In the latest episode of Lex Fridman's podcast, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, announced the upcoming release of the company's new AI model, Claude3.5Opus. This news has sparked significant reactions in the AI community, especially following Anthropic's release of Claude3.5Sonnet and Claude3.5Haiku earlier this year in July. The industry is eagerly anticipating the future of Opus.
Amodei mentioned on the show that although an exact release date cannot be provided, Anthropic still plans to launch Claude3.5Opus. He pointed out that Claude3.5Sonnet has already surpassed Opus3 in capabilities while maintaining the same cost. Additionally, Haiku3.5 performs on par with Opus3. These changes indicate that Anthropic is reallocating the capabilities of its models, with a new Opus3.5 on the horizon.
Regarding the delay in the release of Opus3.5, Amodei explained that it is primarily due to the higher computational requirements for pre-training the new model and rigorous safety testing. Moreover, Anthropic aims to introduce a model that can address more new issues through this update, thereby providing greater value to users. He mentioned that the current pre-training process often requires thousands of GPUs or TPUs and can last for months.
In terms of features, Anthropic has also introduced some new functionalities recently, such as a Computer Use feature, which has garnered widespread attention in the industry and is expected to change the way humans interact with machines. Additionally, Anthropic released a visual PDF tool that allows Claude to visually analyze PDF files and provide deep insights into images, charts, and graphs.
With Anthropic's active deployment, the competition in the AI market is intensifying. OpenAI's upcoming full version of the o1 model, as well as Google's Gemini2.0 by the end of the year, are injecting new energy into the upcoming technological competition. Major tech companies are accelerating their efforts to gain a leading position in this field.
Key Points:
🚀 Anthropic plans to launch Claude3.5Opus, sparking industry anticipation.
