OpenAI’s rival Anthropic on Wednesday unveiled its first smartphone app, a cellular edition of its synthetic intelligence chatbot called Claude.
The app allows users to synchronize their verbal exchange with their activity on the desktop. It also allows them to take or upload photographs and use the app to analyze them. Both features are available in rival ChatGPT.
Anthropic has also introduced a team plan for Claude, which gives business users more chats than Pro users and collaboration tools. ChatGPT offers a similar plan for business users.
Claude is a direct competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which launched in late 2022 and has skyrocketed in popularity. ChatGPT introduced its iOS app last May and has faced few festivals in the smartphone market, therefore as one of the few AI models with a client. application.
ChatGPT and Claude have fees: around $20 per month for the premium versions. One of the main differentiators between apps is voice chat and symbol generation. ChatGPT allows both, while Claude does not.
Anthropic has yet to detail plans for the Android launch. Claude is not available in Canada or European Union countries.
Anthropic was founded in 2021 through siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, who in the past worked at OpenAI. The startup temporarily attracted major backers, adding Amazon and Google, both of which have their own AI chatbot projects.
Amazon invested $1. 25 billion in Anthropic last year and pledged $2. 75 billion in March. The partnership, which provides Amazon with a minority stake in the startup, has been seen as a lure from the tech heavyweight in the ongoing AI wars.
Anthropic said it will use Amazon Web Services’ cloud servers and chips to exercise and strain its giant language models, allowing them to produce human-like results.
OpenAI, meanwhile, is subsidized by Microsoft and, most recently, venture capitalists Thrive Capital, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and K2 Global, in a deal that closed in February.
