Anthropic, a startup backed by Google and Amazon.com, on Thursday released an updated artificial intelligence model and a new layout to boost user productivity, continuing an industry sprint to push technology's frontier.

Anthropic has launched a new and more powerful generative artificial intelligence (AI) model, which comes three months after its earlier version, and claims it outperforms its competitors such as ChatGPT-4o.

Ilya Sutskever, one of the co-founders of AI company OpenAI, has launched a new firm called Safe Superintelligence Inc (SSI), just a month after leaving the ChatGPT maker.

His new company, Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), is co-founded by Daniel Gross, a former AI lead at Apple, and Daniel Levy, who previously worked at OpenAI. The company's sole objective is to advance AI safety and capabilities in tandem.

AI startup Anthropic on Thursday released Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the first language model for its updated chatbot family, saying it's funnier, a better writer and a more adept software engineer, among other talents.

Just a month after OpenAI rolled out its latest AI model, GPT-4o, today its rival Anthropic—famously founded by breakaway OpenAI researchers in 2021—said it had developed a new model to top it.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet will ultimately be the middle model in the lineup — Anthropic uses the name Haiku for its smallest model, Sonnet for the mainstream middle option, and Opus for its highest-end model.
