Claude

Claude is a family of AI assistants developed by Anthropic, designed with a focus on being helpful, harmless, and honest. Claude models are trained using Constitutional AI (CAI) and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to align with human values and provide safe, useful interactions.

Claude models come in different sizes and capabilities: Claude 3 Haiku (fast, efficient), Claude 3 Sonnet (balanced), and Claude 3 Opus (most capable). They support large context windows (up to 200K tokens), vision capabilities, and function calling. Claude is accessible via the Anthropic API and various integration partners.

For AI engineers, Claude offers strong performance on coding tasks, nuanced understanding of instructions, and reliable adherence to system prompts. The model is particularly noted for its ability to engage with complex topics thoughtfully, acknowledge uncertainty appropriately, and follow detailed formatting requirements consistently.
