ARTIFICIAL intelligence startup Anthropic, which is backed by Alphabet’s Google and Amazon.com, said it would release its generative AI chatbot Claude across Europe on Tuesday.
Claude, developed by Anthropic, is a direct competitor to Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The latter achieved 100 million monthly active users within two months of its launch.
The Claude chatbot is now accessible via web and iPhones across the European Union. It’s also available in non-EU countries like Switzerland and Iceland.
European business customers will also be able to access the “Claude Team” plan, which will cost 28 euros (S$40.90) per month before value-added tax.
Anthropic was set up by former executives at OpenAI and siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei.
Earlier this month, the firm jumped into the race to capture corporate dollars, launching a version of its chatbot aimed at businesses. The move could yet bring it into competition with its backers Amazon and Google, who likewise want to capture business spending on AI.
Furthermore, Anthropic’s collaboration with Google underscores the power of partnership in driving innovation and advancing AI technology. Claude, the result of Anthropic’s research and Google’s resources, reflects years of dedicated work and expertise. It’s a significant milestone. Anthropic remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in conversational AI. As Claude continues to evolve and adapt to user needs, the future of human-computer interaction is being shaped.
