Claude 2: The Next Generation AI Chatbot
Anthropic, a leading AI startup, recently unveiled Claude 2, the latest version of its conversational AI assistant. This new AI chatbot boasts significant improvements in capabilities, output length, and safety compared to its previous versions. The launch of Claude 2 comes at a time when public concern over the potential harms of large language models like ChatGPT is increasing. However, Anthropic claims that its constitutional AI approach mitigates these risks while preserving performance.
A New Chat Experience
Anthropic has also launched a public beta of its Claude chatbot interface at claude.ai. Currently available in the US and UK, the new Claude 2 conversational AI assistant offers users a fast, responsive, and easy-to-use chat experience. One of the standout features of Claude 2 is the ability to directly upload files when chatting. This allows the AI chatbot to pull context from lengthy documents like technical manuals or even books, enabling Claude 2 to have detailed discussions about complex topics.
Expanded Contextual Understanding: The 100,000 Token Ability
One of the most significant advancements in Claude 2 is its expanded 100,000 token context window. This feature allows the AI chatbot to maintain a broader context during conversations, enhancing its ability to understand and respond to complex topics.
In the realm of AI chatbots, a 'token' can be as short as one character or as long as one word. For instance, the sentence "Claude 2 is impressive" consists of four tokens: "Claude", "2", "is", "impressive". The more tokens an AI chatbot can handle, the more context it can maintain over the course of a conversation.
With a 100,000 token context window, Claude 2 can hold the equivalent of a 50,000-word book in its 'mind' at once. This is a significant leap forward in AI chatbot technology, as it allows Claude 2 to pull context from lengthy documents like technical manuals or even books. Users can directly upload these files when chatting with Claude 2, enabling the AI to have detailed discussions about complex topics.
This expanded context window also improves Claude 2's ability to maintain long, coherent conversations. Where previous AI chatbots might lose track of the conversation topic after a few exchanges, Claude 2 can remember and reference much earlier parts of the conversation, leading to a more natural and engaging chat experience.
The 100,000 token ability is not just a technical achievement; it's a feature that significantly enhances the user experience, making Claude 2 one of the most advanced and user-friendly AI chatbots on the market today.
Impressive Coding Abilities
Claude 2's coding abilities are impressive, and the company is teasing even more exciting features coming soon. According to Anthropic, Claude 2 scored 71.2% on the Codex HumanEval for assessing Python coding skills, up 15 percentage points from Claude 1.3. It also improved to 88% accuracy on grade school math problems. These performance improvements have been well-received by early users and partners, who are raving about Claude 2's impressive performance improvements across the board.
I am really impressed by Claude Coding ability and as it can process 100K tokens we can just process really big codes with it.
Also you can upload maximum 5 files for your Data Analysis
When you tell Claude 2, 'I want you to help me visualize the data,' it asks what kind of data you want to process.
Upload data.(upto 5 file Max.)
Then Claude 2 will automatically analyze the data.
Claude 2 wrote the code when I told him, 'I want you to write a code that displays a numerical value when you hover the mouse cursor over it.'
It also summarizes the main points of the code.
Copy and paste this code and run it.
Then, when you move the cursor to the country on the map, the numerical value is now displayed.
Comparision: ChatGPT vs Bard vs Claude
lets prompt to compare the results obtained by the three chatbots.
Understanding foreign languages
First, we asked for the meaning of a common Spanish slang phrase. Claude proved to be more careful and accurate with its explanation, ChatGPT provided a good enough explanation, but Bard refused to reply, arguing that it could not speak Spanish. However, once we rephrased our prompt from "what does this mean" to "what is the English equivalent to," it provided a better reply than the one provided by ChatGPT, albeit less extensive than that of Claude AI.
Up-to-date information
Then, we asked the models for the price of Bitcoin today. This not only tests web browsing features, but also gauges how much information each provides based on a single order.
ChatGPT failed. It is not connected to the internet, so it cannot provide up-to-date information. Claude has no internet connection either. Unlike ChatGPT, however, it hallucinated an answer with incorrect information. If a user were to ask something assuming that Claude has an internet connection, they would receive a wrong answer that appears as correct. Google Bard provided the correct information.

Strengths and weaknesses
Claude 2:
- Strengths: Claude 2 has an impressive ability to handle large contexts up to 100,000 tokens. It exhibits superior performance in various fields such as law, mathematics, and coding, boasting high scores in standardized tests. It can self-improve and adapt without human feedback, and supports VPN browsing. The chatbot can also be added to Slack for task handling and provides API support.
- Weaknesses: It is temporarily available only in the US and UK. Claude 2 lacks an internet connection and may provide incorrect information if asked about current real-world data. It can make mistakes in complex tasks and sound very convincing about it.
ChatGPT:
- Strengths: ChatGPT is the most widely available of the three models, supporting over 80 languages. It also offers API support and a plugin store in the ChatGPT Plus version.
- Weaknesses: It has limited context handling capabilities compared to Claude 2. The free version does not offer additional features and is much more limited and of lesser quality than the paid version. Its web browsing feature is temporarily paused and cannot provide real-time data. In some complex tasks, it can generate inappropriate results.
Google's Bard:
- Strengths: Bard supports VPN browsing. It can provide real-time data due to its connection to the internet. Bard also plans to integrate with Google Suite and offer a plugin store.
- Weaknesses: Bard supports fewer languages than ChatGPT. Its API access is limited, and its context handling capabilities are less than Claude 2. Bard's responses can be generic and unhelpful in some complex tasks --- which is a reasonable compromise if the user wants to reduce the risk of hallucinations.
Conclusion
As generative AI continues to advance rapidly, providers like Anthropic aim to balance safety, ethics, and performance. Only time will tell if techniques like constitutional AI can deliver on that promise. However, if Claude 2 is an indication, they are definitely on the right track. The sheer speed, versatility, and polish of Claude 2 make chatting with this assistant a joy, and it sets a new standard for responsible and cutting-edge generative AI.
