A new “better than ChatGPT and Gemini” AI has emerged in town!

Over the past couple of years, AI has taken over the internet, and following the tradition, Anthropic has unveiled its latest innovation: the Claude 3 model family. This release promises to revolutionize the AI industry, allegedly being better than ChatGPT and Gemini. In this article, let’s dive into discussing the Claude 3 Model in more detail.

Claude 3 Models Overview

The Claude 3 model family introduces three cutting-edge models: Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Opus. Each model is tailored to meet specific user needs, delivering a blend of intelligence, speed, and affordability.

Opus

On the top of the Claude 3 lineup is Opus, boasting exceptional intelligence that outshines (according to Anthropic) competitors like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Gemini Ultra. Opus excels in retaining common knowledge, solving math problems, generating code, and demonstrating reasoning skills. Opus costs $15 to process an input prompt stretching to a million tokens, and $75 to generate a million tokens for output.

Claude 3: Sonnet and Haiku

Sonnet and Haiku in second and third place respectively come with a bit more affordability. While both models surpass OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, they fall slightly short of Google’s Gemini Ultra and Pro models in terms of capabilities. Sonnet is optimized for mainstream enterprise users, offering fast and reliable performance for tasks like information retrieval, marketing copywriting, and code generation.

Sonnet costs $3 to process an input prompt stretching to a million tokens, and $15 to generate a million tokens for output. Haiku, on the other hand, provides an even more cost-effective solution, catering to tasks such as content moderation, language translation, and customer service. Haiku costs $0.25 to process an input prompt stretching to a million tokens, and $1.25 to generate a million tokens for output.

Context Window and Reduced Refusal

Anthropic revealed that the context window for Claude 3 models will initially be 200K tokens, expandable up to a million tokens. Pricing varies across models, with Opus commanding a higher fee for its top-tier performance, while Sonnet and Haiku offer more budget-friendly options.

Also, read

While they may be an exceptional powerhouse of a system, AIs, in general, tend to refuse a lot of questions, and considering this fact, Anthropic has remained pretty cautious in its approach, minimizing unnecessary refusals and striving for greater accuracy in its outputs. Anthropic has pledged to continually improve the Claude 3 model family, introducing features like source citations to enhance transparency and trustworthiness.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, Anthropic plans to release frequent updates and features to further enhance the capabilities of Claude 3, particularly for enterprise use cases and large-scale deployments. Interestingly, Claude 3 is not a multi-modal system and currently lacks the ability to handle audio or video inputs, unlike some competing models. So let’s sit back and take a look at what we have for the future.

Samsung launches new Galaxy F15 5G in India

Samsung launched a new budget phone specifically in the Indian market. This new smartphone is almost the same as the Galaxy A15 5G but goes by the name of Galaxy F15 5G instead. Let’s take a look at the new Samsung Galaxy F15 5G and discuss it in further detail.

Samsung Galaxy F15 5G Overview

Design and Display

We all know that Samsung adopted a uniform design for its devices all across the board. As such, this phone also has the signature Galaxy design with a mono-tone finish and vertically aligned camera cutouts. Even though this phone appears to be a rebrand of the Galaxy A15, you don’t get the “Key Island” that you get on its A-series counterpart.

Meanwhile, on the screen side of things, we get the same 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G. It is an FHD+ panel that spans 2,340 x 1,080 pixels while offering a 90Hz refresh rate and a colour depth of 16 million. Additionally, the screen can reach a brightness of up to 800 nits.

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy F15 5G is similar to the Galaxy A15 5G (review) in the performance department as well. However, the processors on both these phones are the same i.e. MediaTek Dimensity 6100+. This chipset comes with eight cores, 6nm fabrication, and a peak clock speed of 2.2 GHz.

Even though the silicon on both phones is the same, the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G comes only in 4GB and 6GB memory options while the A15 also offers 8GB configurations. Meanwhile, you only get 128 gigs of internal storage to go with this phone. Additionally, it appears that you can virtually extend the memory on this phone and get up to 12GB of dynamic RAM. Similarly, you can also expand your storage up to a terabyte with a MicroSD card.

On the software end, you get the full Galaxy experience with OneUI based on Android 14. One of the interesting features of this phone is that you can cancel the background noise during calls with Voice Focus mode. In addition to that, you also get four years of software updates and five full years of security patches on your Samsung Galaxy F15 5G.

Camera and the rest

Moving on to the optics department, you get a 50MP primary shooter on this phone. You also get two auxiliary lenses on the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G, the larger of which is a 5MP ultrawide shooter. Lastly, you get a 2MP macro shooter which has next to no usability in your camera experience. In the meantime, a 13MP camera handles all the selfies and face unlocking responsibility.

The battery is one category you see an immediate difference between the Samsung Galaxy F15 5G and the A15. The former comes with a larger 6,000 mAh cell while boasting the same 25W charging speed. Other than that, you get the same dual SIM, 5G cellular, dual-band WiFi, and Bluetooth v5.3 support on this phone. Meanwhile, for wired connections, you get both USB Type-C as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.
