Summary
Anthropic announces the Claude 3 model family (Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus), highlighting significant capability improvements over previous generations including near-human performance on benchmarks. The release also details safety and constitutional AI features built into the models, along with reduced refusal rates and improved instruction-following.
Key Points
- •Introduces three tiers: Claude 3 Haiku (fast/affordable), Sonnet (balanced), and Opus (most capable), targeting different deployment needs.
- •Claude 3 Opus sets new benchmark records at release, outperforming GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra on several standard evaluations.
- •Models show improved vision capabilities, supporting image analysis and multimodal inputs across all three variants.
- •Anthropic emphasizes Constitutional AI and safety work embedded in training, aiming to reduce over-refusals while maintaining safety.
- •Represents a major commercial and capability milestone for Anthropic, directly relevant to tracking frontier AI development trajectories.

# Introducing the next generation of Claude
Mar 4, 2024
[Try Claude 3](https://anthropic.com/claude)
Today, we're announcing the Claude 3 model family, which sets new industry benchmarks across a wide range of cognitive tasks. The family includes three state-of-the-art models in ascending order of capability: Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Opus. Each successive model offers increasingly powerful performance, allowing users to select the optimal balance of intelligence, speed, and [cost](https://www.anthropic.com/api#pricing) for their specific application.
Opus and Sonnet are now available to use in claude.ai and the Claude API which is now generally available in [159 countries](https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries). Haiku will be available soon.
### Claude 3 model family
### A new standard for intelligence
Opus, our most intelligent model, outperforms its peers on most of the common evaluation benchmarks for AI systems, including undergraduate level expert knowledge (MMLU), graduate level expert reasoning (GPQA), basic mathematics (GSM8K), and more. It exhibits near-human levels of comprehension and fluency on complex tasks, leading the frontier of general intelligence.
All [Claude 3](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-3-model-card) models show increased capabilities in analysis and forecasting, nuanced content creation, code generation, and conversing in non-English languages like Spanish, Japanese, and French.
Below is a comparison of the Claude 3 models to those of our peers on multiple benchmarks \[1\] of capability:
### Near-instant results
The Claude 3 models can power live customer chats, auto-completions, and data extraction tasks where responses must be immediate and in real-time.
Haiku is the fastest and most cost-effective model on the market for its intelligence category. It can read an information and data dense research paper on arXiv (~10k tokens) with charts and graphs in less than three seconds. Following launch, we expect to improve performance even further.
For the vast majority of workloads, Sonnet is 2x faster than Claude 2 and Claude 2.1 with higher levels of intelligence. It excels at tasks demanding rapid responses, like knowledge retrieval or sales automation. Opus delivers similar speeds to Claude 2 and 2.1, but with much higher levels of intelligence.
### Strong vision capabilities
The Claude 3 models have sophisticated
