Hold onto your keyboards, folks, because Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet just dropped a bombshell update that’s set to shake the AI world to its core! 🔥 Today, Anthropic announced that their already impressive chatbot can now search the web, a feature that catapults Claude into direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Game on!
Before this update, Claude’s knowledge was stuck in October 2024 – ancient history in the fast-moving tech world. But now, with web search, Claude can tap into the latest events and information, making its answers not just smart, but scarily accurate. And here’s the kicker: it even provides citations, so you can fact-check its work. 😮
Currently, this shiny new feature is rolling out to paying users in the US, with plans to expand to free users and more countries soon. But let’s be real, this is Anthropic playing catch-up. OpenAI’s been offering web search in ChatGPT since last fall, and it’s been free for all since February. Will Claude’s hybrid reasoning model give it the edge? Only time will tell.
