Anthropic's Claude: The New Competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Anthropic, a startup co-founded by ex-OpenAI employees, has launched Claude, an AI chatbot that can perform tasks such as searching, summarizing, writing, and coding. Claude is similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT but is "much less likely to produce harmful outputs," "easier to converse with," and "more steerable." Claude was trained using a technique called "constitutional AI," which aligns AI systems with human intentions. However, Claude has limitations, including hallucinations and safety feature bypassing. Anthropic plans to let developers customize Claude's constitutional principles and sees its core users as startups and larger enterprises.
