These models handle tasks such as image captioning, email writing, and solve complex instructions, albeit with limitations like no internet access. Pricing varies from $0.25 to $75 per million tokens, available via API and managed platforms. Subscription plans, including Pro, Team, and Enterprise, provide access to tools like Projects and Artifacts.

Anthropic's AI models, known as Claude, are a robust series of generative AI designed for diverse tasks, including writing emails and solving mathematical problems. The models are named Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus, with Claude 3.5 Sonnet being the most proficient among them, although the flagship Claude 3 Opus holds significant capabilities.

These models are able to handle text, images, charts, and diagrams with a 200,000-token context window, equivalent to a 600-page novel. While they cannot access current internet information or generate images, they are adept at following complex instructions and handling structured outputs like JSON.

Anthropic offers Claude access via API, with pricing ranging from $0.25 to $75 per million tokens, and subscription plans for enhanced access. Plans such as Claude Pro and Claude Enterprise provide upgrades like larger context windows and integration with platforms like GitHub, yet ethical and legal risks remain due to potential data copyright issues.
