Anthropic plans for 10x AI model

What: Last couple of months have seen disruptive advances in AI. A leaked investor pitch deck from Anthropic, an AI startup backed by Google, revealed what next couple of years might look like.

Similar to ChatGPT, Anthropic currently offers a chatbot named Claude. And now, its working on on creating an updated version, fittingly named Claude-Next.

The new model will be 10x better than today’s version and will need $1 billion over the next 18 months to develop.

VCs are pouring money in AI startups.

Overall, Anthropic is looking to raise $5 billion in next 3 years! Developing AI is neither easy nor cheap!

What's next: 2 key insights from Anthropic's pitch deck -

  1. The AI models could begin to automate large portions of the economy.

  2. The companies that train the best 2025/26 models will be too far ahead for anyone to catch up in subsequent cycles!

Bigger Picture - Although ChatGPT is all the rage right now, Anthropic's Claude has business friendly policies right out of the box. For instance, it follows industry-standard practices for handling enterprise data, comes with APIs for integration and is easy customizable.

An AI 10x better than today would change how we work and create!
