Claude 3 is a family of Large Language Models (LLMs) by Anthropic with vision capabilities. Provided in a chatbot format, Claude 3 models, at the time of release, were one of the highest ranking models in several LLM rankings and metrics, being able to reason, provide knowledge, solve problems, and write code at levels above OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Gemini 1.0 family of models.
Claude 3 comes in three versions: Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku. Opus is the largest and most capable, but also being the slowest and most expensive while Haiku was the fastest and most affordable, while having more limited capabilities, with Sonnet being a balance of the two models.
