Anthropic has unveiled two new AI models: a new Claude 3.5 Haiku and an improved Claude 3.5 Sonnet. With substantial advances in coding, where it was already a frontrunner, the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet delivers benefits in every area when compared to its predecessor. While keeping the same price and speed as the previous Haiku edition, Claude 3.5 Haiku performs similarly to Claude 3 Opus, the largest model, in several tests. The new Computer Use function, a significant addition in the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model’s public beta phase, is the standout feature, though. Let’s take a closer look at each of the new entities.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet with Computer Use
However, the concerns of AI taking over rise here. On this, the company has stated that humans remain in control. TechCrunch reported that users will be over all the tasks by providing specific prompts that give Claude’s actions a way. The Computer Use feature breaks down the user’s prompts into computer commands to achieve a certain task.
According to the company, the updated version is simply a better and stronger model. It claims that the 3.5 Sonnet scored higher on coding performance than other popular models, including OpenAI o1.
The upgraded edition is only a stronger and better model, the business claims. In terms of coding performance, it asserts that the 3.5 Sonnet outperformed other well-known models, such as OpenAI o1.
The business stated in the announcement that “the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet represents a significant leap for AI-powered coding, according to early customer feedback.” Through Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, Amazon Bedrock, and Anthropic’s API, developers can access Computer Use. In contrast to the previous 3.5 Sonnet paradigm, the new 3.5 Sonnet without Computer Use is being made available to Claude apps. It offers a number of speed improvements.
However, perfection is still a ways off. Anthropic admits that the enhanced 3.5 Sonnet struggles with basic functions like scrolling and zooming, and that its technique of taking and compiling screenshots may cause it to overlook “short-lived” actions and notifications. In its post, Anthropic states that “Claude’s Computer Use remains slow and often error-prone.” “We advise developers to start with low-risk tasks when exploring.”
Claude 3 Haiku
The most economical and effective model in Anthropic’s Claude series, Haiku, will shortly receive an update. With the same price and “similar speed” as the Claude 3 Haiku, the next Claude 3.5 Haiku, which is scheduled to ship in the coming weeks, will perform on par with the Claude 3 Opus, which was once Anthropic’s most advanced model, on certain benchmarks.
Claude 3.5 Haiku is ideally suited for user-facing products, specialized sub-agent tasks, and creating customized experiences from massive amounts of data—such as price, inventory, or purchase history—due to its low latency, enhanced instruction following, and more precise tool use. In a blog post, Anthropic wrote.
First offered as a text-only model, Claude 3.5 Haiku will eventually be included in a multimodal package that can analyze both text and images.
