Anthropic on Wednesday launched Claude Enterprise, its biggest new product since the chatbot’s debut and a step forward for businesses looking to integrate Anthropic’s artificial intelligence.
this AmazonThe AI startup founded by a former OpenAI research director is the company behind Claude, one of the chatbots that, along with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, has surged in popularity in recent years.
Since Anthropic released the first version of its chatbot Claude in March 2023, without any consumer exposure or fanfare, it has become one of the hottest AI startups, with backers including Google, Salesforce and Amazon, and this product competes directly with ChatGPT in both the enterprise and consumer worlds. Since January, it has launched iOS and Android apps, an enterprise team program and international expansion into Europe.
GitLab, Midjourney and Menlo Ventures, as well as North Highland Consulting and Sourcegraph, are all beta testers and early customers of Claude Enterprise. Anthropic product manager Scott White told CNBC that GitLab uses the product for content creation and to respond to proposal requests in a more automated way.
“(We’re) moving toward a world where these models will behave more like virtual collaborators than virtual assistants,” White said.
Claude Enterprise allows customers to upload relevant documents with a larger contextual window than ever before – the equivalent of 100 different 30-minute sales conversations, 100,000 lines of code or 15 complete financial reports. The program also allows power users within the company to conduct “campaign feedback” to show AI novices how they can leverage the technology, White said.
An Anthropic representative told CNBC that pricing will depend on each organization’s needs, but factors will include usage scale (such as number of users and query volume) and specific feature requirements (such as depth of integration).
Anthropic also highlighted enterprise privacy in a briefing viewed by CNBC, which outlined the program’s role-based access and project-based invitations, as well as its upcoming audit logs. “Anthropic does not train our models on your Claude for Work data,” one slide said.
White said about a dozen dedicated people work at Claude Enterprise, which has been developing the product since at least January. So far, he said, many industries have expressed interest in the product, including companies in the legal and consulting fields, as well as those in financial services and software.
Prior to the launch of Claude Enterprise, Anthropic debuted its most powerful AI model to date, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, in June, and launched its “Team” program for small businesses in May.
Anthropic co-founder Daniela Amodei told CNBC that the team’s plans have been in the works for the past few quarters and will involve beta testing with 30 to 50 customers in industries such as technology, financial services, legal services and healthcare. . Amoudi added that the idea for the service stemmed in part from demand from many customers for dedicated enterprise products.
In June, Anthropic also announced “Artifacts,” which it says will allow users to ask its Claude chatbot to generate text files or code and then open the results in a dedicated window. “This creates a dynamic workspace where they can instantly view, edit and build on Claude’s creations,” the company said, adding that Artifacts is expected to aid in code development, legal contract drafting and analysis, and business report writing. and more.
White told CNBC that artifacts, or “workspaces,” allow users to “instantly view, edit and build on Claude’s creations,” which is a key factor in attracting Claude Enterprise customers. The feature will allow enterprise customers to build marketing calendars, enter sales data, create dashboards or forecasts, draft functional code, write legal documents, summarize complex contracts, automate legal tasks and more.
Shortly after Anthropic first launched Teams in May, Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger joined the company as chief product officer. Krieger is the former chief technology officer of Meta-owned Instagram, where he grew the platform to 1 billion users and its engineering team to more than 450 people during his tenure, according to a press release. Jan Leike, former head of security at OpenAI, joined the company the same month
As new startups like Anthropic and OpenAI gain momentum in the generative artificial intelligence business, they join tech giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta in an AI arms race to integrate technologies to ensure they don’t Lagging behind in the field of intelligence. Expected to exceed US$1 trillion Income over ten years.
