Anthropic has launched Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the first release in the forthcoming Claude 3.5 model family. This new model sets a new industry standard for intelligence, outperforming both competitor models and the previous Claude 3 Opus across a wide range of evaluations, while maintaining the speed and cost efficiency of the mid-tier Claude 3 Sonnet.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is now accessible for free on Claude.ai and the Claude iOS app. Subscribers to the Claude Pro and Team plans benefit from significantly higher rate limits. Additionally, the model is available via the Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. The pricing is set at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens, with a 200K token context window.
Introducing the Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Anthropic’s most intelligent model to date. This initial release in the 3.5 model family outperforms competitors on key evaluations, offering twice the speed of Claude 3 Opus at just one-fifth of the cost. The Sonnet model now excels in all standard vision benchmarks, with noticeable improvements in tasks requiring visual reasoning, such as interpreting charts, graphs, and transcribing text from imperfect images.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet establishes new benchmarks in graduate-level reasoning (GPQA), undergraduate-level knowledge (MMLU), and coding proficiency (HumanEval). It demonstrates significant advancements in understanding nuance, humor, and complex instructions, while maintaining a natural writing tone.
This model is available for free on Claude.ai and the Claude iOS app. Pro and Team plan subscribers enjoy higher rate limits, and it is also accessible through the Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI.
Looking ahead, Anthropic plans to complete the Claude 3.5 model family with the release of Claude 3.5 Haiku and Claude 3.5 Opus later this year. The company is also developing new modalities and features for businesses, alongside rigorous safety testing.
The launch of Claude 3.5 Sonnet marks a significant leap in AI capabilities. By offering superior intelligence, speed, and cost-efficiency, this model provides marketers with a powerful tool for diverse applications, from complex reasoning to nuanced content creation.
