Anthropic has launched its latest model, Claude 3.5 Haiku, for general users via the Claude chatbot on web and mobile applications. Previously available only to developers through Anthropic's API since October 2024, this model is noted for its speed and efficiency, outperforming larger models on key benchmarks.
Claude 3.5 Haiku is designed for real-time tasks, featuring a 200,000-token context window that surpasses OpenAI's GPT-4o's 128,000-token limit. It enhances the Claude chatbot's capabilities by allowing for image and file attachment analysis and integrates with Claude Artifacts, an interactive sidebar for content refinement.
While the model can be used for free, it comes with a variable daily message limit based on server demand. Users can engage in approximately 10 exchanges before reaching Anthropic's daily quota. A subscription to the Claude Pro plan, priced at $20 per month, offers increased usage limits, priority access during peak times, and early access to new features.
