Anthropic, the AI startup co-founded by ex-OpenAI execs, has released<\/a> an updated version of its faster, cheaper text-generating model available through an API, Claude Instant.<\/p>\n

The updated Claude Instant, Claude Instant 1.2, incorporates the strengths of Anthropic\u2019s recently announced flagship model, Claude 2<\/a>, showing \u201csignificant\u201d gains in areas such as math, coding, reasoning and safety, according to Anthropic. In internal testing, Claude Instant 1.2 scored 58.7% on a coding benchmark compared to Claude Instant 1.1, which scored 52.8%, and 86.7% on a set of math questions versus 80.9% for Claude Instant 1.1.<\/p>\n

\u201cClaude Instant generates longer, more structured responses and follows formatting instructions better,\u201d Anthropic writes in a blog post. \u201cInstant 1.2 also shows improvements in quote extraction, multilingual capabilities and question answering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claude Instant 1.2 is also less likely to hallucinate and more resistant to jailbreaking attempts, Anthropic claims. In the context of large language models like Claude, \u201challucination\u201d is where a model generates text that\u2019s incorrect or nonsensical, while jailbreaking is a technique that uses cleverly-written prompts to bypass<\/a> the safety features placed on large language models by their creators.<\/p>\n

And Claude Instant 1.2 features\u00a0a context window<\/a> that\u2019s the same size of Claude 2\u2019s \u2014 100,000 tokens. Context window refers to the text the model considers before generating additional text, while tokens represent raw text (e.g. the word \u201cfantastic\u201d would be split into the tokens \u201cfan,\u201d \u201ctas\u201d and \u201ctic\u201d). Claude Instant 1.2 and Claude 2 can analyze roughly 75,000 words, about the length of \u201cThe Great Gatsby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, models with large context windows are less likely to \u201cforget\u201d the content of recent conversations.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve\u00a0reported<\/a> previously, Anthropic\u2019s ambition is to create a \u201cnext-gen algorithm for AI self-teaching,\u201d as it describes it in a pitch deck to investors. Such an algorithm could be used to build virtual assistants that can answer emails, perform research and generate art, books and more \u2014 some of which we\u2019ve already gotten a taste of with the likes of GPT-4<\/a>\u00a0and other large language models.<\/p>\n

But Claude Instant isn\u2019t this algorithm. Rather, it\u2019s intended to compete with similar entry-level offerings from OpenAI as well as startups such as Cohere<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0AI21 Labs<\/a>, all of which are developing and productizing their own text-generating \u2014 and in some cases image-generating \u2014 AI systems.<\/p>\n

To date, Anthropic, which launched in 2021, led by former OpenAI VP of research Dario Amodei, has raised $1.45 billion at a valuation in the single-digit billions. While that might sound like a lot, it\u2019s far short of what the company estimates it\u2019ll need \u2014 $5 billion over the next two years \u2014 to create its envisioned chatbot.<\/p>\n

Anthropic claims to have \u201cthousands\u201d of customers and partners currently, including Quora, which delivers access to Claude and Claude Instant through its subscription-based generative AI app Poe<\/a>.\u00a0Claude powers DuckDuckGo\u2019s recently launched\u00a0DuckAssist<\/a> tool, which directly answers straightforward search queries for users, in combination with OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT. And on Notion, Claude is a part of the technical backend for Notion AI, an AI writing assistant integrated with the Notion workspace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
