Claude

Anthropic has added web search capabilities to Claude, enabling the AI assistant to access current information and provide more timely, accurate responses with direct source citations.

The update provides three preset options: formal, concise, and explanatory. Users can also upload their own writing samples to create custom styles that match their exact needs.

Prompt engineering has become a crucial skill for AI development, but implementing best practices can be time-consuming and complex.

Anthropic says the desktop apps are "Fast, focused, and designed for deep work." The goal is to provide a more integrated experience for users who prefer working with AI tools in their native computing environment.

While it is still experimental, it opens up a new realm of possibilities for AI, enabling it to not just process text, but to act on real-world digital tasks.

Anthropic is positioning itself to capture a larger slice of the enterprise AI market—a space where widespread adoption and deeper integrations with business-critical tools could make all the difference.

The partnership could mirror Apple's strategy, announced at WWDC in June, which integrates ChatGPT into Siri as part of the new Apple Intelligence suite in iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia.

With Projects, Claude.ai Pro and Team users can now structure their interactions with Claude, incorporating relevant context, such as style guides, codebases, and past work.

Claude can intelligently select and orchestrate tools to solve complex tasks end-to-end, significantly expanding its potential applications.

The new model, now available on the Claude API and claude.ai for Claude Pro subscribers, offers state-of-the-art vision capabilities and strong performance on industry benchmarks, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of enterprise applications.

The three state-of-the-art models—Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Haiku—set new industry benchmarks across reasoning, math, coding, multilingual understanding, and vision.

With significant advances in performance, safety, and capabilities, Claude 2 sets a new standard for responsible and cutting-edge generative AI.
