Claude is a next-generation AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It operates via a web interface where users can converse with the Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Opus models, known for their nuanced understanding, natural writing style, and superior coding abilities.
The platform introduces 'Artifacts', a feature that allows Claude to generate standalone content like code snippets, documents, and website previews in a dedicated side panel. Users can also create 'Projects' to upload knowledge bases and set custom instructions, tailoring Claude's responses to specific contexts or codebases.
Key differentiators include its massive context window (up to 200k tokens), the ability to visualize code and designs instantly via Artifacts, and a strong emphasis on safety and steerability.
