Model Availability
Opus and Sonnet are available to use in the API, which is now generally available, enabling developers to sign up and start using these models immediately.
Smarter, Faster, Safer
Anthropic does not believe that model intelligence is anywhere near its limits, and they plan to release frequent updates to the Claude 3 model family over the next few months. They're also excited to release a series of features to enhance the models' capabilities, particularly for enterprise use cases and large-scale deployments. These new features will include Tool Use (aka function calling), interactive coding (aka REPL), and more advanced agentic capabilities.
As they push the boundaries of AI capabilities, they’re equally committed to ensuring that their safety guardrails keep apace with these leaps in performance. Their hypothesis is that being at the frontier of AI development is the most effective way to steer its trajectory towards positive societal outcomes.
