- Claude 3 Sonnet – Balanced for speed and intelligence at scale.
- Claude 3 Opus – The most capable model, excelling in complex reasoning and comprehension.
Redefining Intelligence with Claude 3
Each model offers top-tier performance in content generation, code execution, multilingual support, and reasoning across tasks. Notably:
- Haiku: Best for speed-critical tasks like live support and data extraction.
- Sonnet: Doubles the speed of Claude 2; great for sales automation and content creation.
- Opus: Excels in graduate-level reasoning, math, and language proficiency.
Real-Time Interaction and Visual Understanding
Claude 3 models are optimized for rapid response in real-time applications without compromising accuracy. They can also process complex visuals—charts, graphs, PDFs, and technical diagrams—making them ideal for knowledge-rich enterprise environments.
Contextual Understanding and Reduced Refusals
Claude 3 models show enhanced contextual comprehension, reducing unnecessary refusals and better recognizing user intent. This leads to smoother and more engaging user interactions.
Accuracy and Trustworthiness
The Claude 3 family—especially Opus—delivers a twofold increase in factual accuracy over Claude 2.1. An upcoming citation feature will allow the models to reference exact sentences from source material, increasing transparency and user trust.
Long Context Window and Recall
Claude 3 introduces a 200K token context window and supports inputs exceeding 1 million tokens in select cases. Claude 3 Opus achieves 99% accuracy on the Needle In A Haystack (NIAH) evaluation, showcasing its exceptional recall abilities.
Commitment to Responsible AI
Claude 3 models adhere to AI Safety Level 2 (ASL-2) standards, posing negligible misuse risk. They feature bias mitigation and are aligned with the Bias Benchmark for Question Answering (BBQ), improving fairness and neutrality across outputs.
User-Friendly and Adaptable
Claude 3 excels at following brand-specific instructions, generating structured outputs like JSON, and adapting to complex, multi-step user workflows. This makes it ideal for customer-facing business applications.
Availability and Roadmap
- Claude 3 Opus and Sonnet available on claude.ai and the Claude API in 159 countries.
- Sonnet available on Amazon Bedrock and in preview on Google Cloud Vertex AI.
- Opus and Haiku coming soon to both platforms.
- Future updates will include features like REPL (interactive coding) and Tool Use (function calling).
