Anthropic’s Claude 3 model outperforms GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra in many tests

Anthropic announced on Monday a new family of AI models, collectively called the Claude 3 model family. As is commonly done, the company released three different sizes of models, each with a varying balance of intelligence, speed, and cost.

The largest of the new models, called “Opus,” outperforms both OpenAI’s and Google’s most advanced models, GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra, respectively, on tests measuring undergraduate level expert knowledge (MMLU), graduate level expert reasoning (GPQA) as well as basic mathematics (GSM8k), Anthropic says.

The middle child in the family, Claude 3 “Sonnet,” is twice as fast as Anthropic’s previous best model, Claude 2.1, and with higher intelligence. Anthropic says Sonnet excels at intelligent tasks demanding rapid responses, like knowledge retrieval or sales automation.

The smallest model, called “Haiku,” beats other comparably sized models in performance, speed and cost, the company says. It can read a dense research paper of roughly 7,500 words with charts and graphs in less than three seconds.

All three models can process visual imagery, which enables them to understand uploaded documents, analyze web interfaces, and generate image catalog metadata. Anthropic says that for many of its enterprise customers, up to half of their knowledgebases consist of documents in image formats such as PDFs, flowcharts, or slides.

The Opus and Sonnet models are available today, while the Haiku model will be available soon.
