New ChatGPT challenger emerges with 'Claude'

Although chatbots themselves are by no means new, Claude is one of a breed of much more powerful tools that have been trained on massive swaths of the Internet to generate text that mimics human speech far better than their predecessors. — Image by DCStudio on Freepik

Anthropic, an artificial-intelligence startup, is making its rival chatbot to OpenAI’s popular ChatGPT available to businesses that want to add it to their products.

The startup, created in 2021 by former leaders of OpenAI, including siblings Daniela and Dario Amodei, said the chatbot, named Claude, has been tested the past few months by tech companies such as Notion Labs Inc, Quora Inc and search engine DuckDuckGo. Quora, for instance, included the chatbot with an app called Poe, which lets users ask questions.
