Anthropic's Claude Challenges ChatGPT on iPhone and in Enterprise
Anthropic released a new iOS app for its Claude AI assistant in the US App Store and introduced a "Team" plan aimed at businesses. The free app can be upgraded to Pro for $20 per month, giving access to Anthropic's most advanced model, Claude 3 Opus. The Team plan costs $30 per user per month with a minimum of five accounts and includes Pro features, the Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models, and a 200,000-token context window. The app supports photo uploads for object/person recognition and document uploads for analysis such as PDF summarization. Anthropic positions the Team offer as privacy- and security-focused for companies. The launch intensifies competition with OpenAI's ChatGPT and comes as Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro offers up to one million tokens.
Anthropic, a leading AI model vendor, expands access to Claude for consumers and enterprise teams, intensifying competition in AI assistants and enterprise AI tooling relevant to the AI and marketing technology ecosystem.
