Claude 3
Overview
Anthropic announces Claude 3, their new family of models that include Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Opus.
Claude 3 Opus (the strongest model) is reported to outperform GPT-4 and all other models on common benchmarks like MMLU and HumanEval.
Results and Capabilities
Claude 3 capabilities include advanced reasoning, basic mathematics, analysis, data extraction, forecasting, content creation, code generation, and converting in non-English languages like Spanish, Japanese, and French. The table below demonstrates how Claude 3 compares with other models on several benchmarks with Claude 3 Opus outperforming all the mentioned models:
Model Variants
- Claude 3 Haiku: The fastest and most cost-effective model of the series
- Claude 3 Sonnet: 2x faster than previous iterations of Claude
- Claude 3 Opus: As fast as Claude 2.1 with more superior capabilities
Key Features
- Context Window: Support for 200K context windows, extendable to 1M tokens for select customers
- Long Context Processing: Claude 3 Opus achieved near-perfect recall on the Needle In A Haystack (NIAH) evaluation
- Vision Capabilities: Strong processing of formats like photos, charts, and graphs
- Improved Understanding: More nuanced understanding of requests with fewer refusals
