Claude AI: the virtual assistant who can plan trips and code a website

At least in theory. “At this stage, it is still experimental – at times cumbersome and error-prone,” said Claude’s parent company, Anthropic. Still, the technology’s potential is immense. Claude has been developed along the large language model Claude 3.5, designed to enhance self-correction capabilities and uphold ethical principles (more on this later). Claude 3.5 has what’s called a context window of 100,000 tokens, while GPT-4 (the large language model behind the latest version of ChatGPT) has a window of only 32,768. This means Claude 3.5 can handle much longer pieces of text, making it ideal for tasks like summarising lengthy documents, writing fiction and fixing programming.
