AI chatbot rivalry accelerates again with new Claude chatbots from Anthropic, an OpenAI rival

The race to build the smartest artificial intelligence chatbot completed another lap Monday when startup Anthropic unveiled a new AI model it says is more than advanced than those before it. San Francisco-based Anthropic, an OpenAI rival started by former leaders at the ChatGPT maker, announced Claude 3 — the third generation of its large language models. While OpenAI has closely tied itself to its business partner Microsoft, Anthropic’s primary cloud computing partner is Amazon, which has said it would invest up to $4 billion in the company. Another cloud provider, Google, has also invested in Anthropic.
