Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet wows AI power users: ‘this is wild’


AI influencers and power users have taken to the web share their largely positive impressions about Anthropic's new release.

Pennsylvania University Wharton School of Business professor and AI booster Ethan Mollick compared the Artifacts feature to a “simpler version of Code Interpreter” from OpenAI’s GPT-4. Similarly, tech journalist Timothy B. Lee, known from his handle@binarybits on X, noted that it “still makes goofy errors sometimes,” posting a screenshot asking it for the answer to a simple math word problem: which is worth more: 100 pennies or three quarters? Still, even with these so-far minor issues, Claude 3.5 Sonnet appears to be a tremendous leap for Anthropic and LLMs generally, and shows that the performance gains of individual AI model makers are certainly not slowing down with current levels of available compute resources (i.e. GPUs).
