About
Claude 2, crafted by Anthropic, represents a leap forward in large language model technology, striving to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It's recognized for its improved performance, longer responses, and a remarkable 100,000-token context window, allowing it to handle extensive text inputs with ease. Excelling in coding, math, and reasoning tasks, Claude 2 performs exceptionally on standardized tests like the Bar exam and GRE. Despite its achievements, it faces challenges such as generating inaccurate information ("hallucinations") and simulating emotional responses rather than possessing true empathy. The model's knowledge extends up to early 2023, so it might miss the latest updates. While not immune to "jailbreaks," it aims to enhance AI safety significantly 135.
Claude 2 is a proprietary model. The structured metadata tracks a 100k-token context window and structured outputs. This page tracks provider routes through AWS Bedrock and Anthropic, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $8 input and $24 output per 1M tokens.
