Summary
Claude 3 is a family of large language models (LLMs) developed by the American artificial intelligence startup Anthropic. Positioned as a leading competitor to OpenAI's GPT series, the Claude 3 family includes three distinct models—Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus—designed to offer varying balances of intelligence, speed, and cost. The models are characterized by near-human levels of comprehension, advanced vision capabilities for interpreting diagrams and charts, and a substantial context window of 200,000 tokens. The series has evolved from its initial March 2024 release to include the Claude Opus 4.5 iteration in late 2025. Claude 3 is frequently discussed in the context of the broader AI industry's shift toward closed-source development and its role in the competitive landscape alongside major tech entities like Google and Microsoft.
