ChatGPT is the AI chatbot most famous and popular in the world, but it is not the only tool to interact with artificial intelligence (here is a list of the best apps).
The startup Entropic, supported by Google and founded by former OpenAI engineers not happy with the company’s increasingly commercial direction, it has in fact created its own proprietary toolClaude, who has now updated to version 2.1 and promises less “hallucinations”, as well as the ability to create much more context.
In the release notes, Entropic actually states that with Claude 2.1 now double the amount of information users can broadcast to the chatbot. This results in a new limit of 200,000 tokens (a first for the industry, according to Entropic, and much higher than GPT-4’s 32,000 tokens), or about 150,000 words or over 500 pages of material.
Obviously we are not talking about simple prompts, but about a solution dedicated to Pro users, who can now upload technical documentation such as entire code basesfinancial statements or even literary works such as The Iliad or The Odyssey.
In these contexts, Claude is able to to summarise, to execute requests And answers, predict them trends, compare multiple documents and much more.
Furthermore Claude 2.1 has half as many hallucinations as Claude 2.0, which allows you to use the tool to solve real-world business problems and implement AI into business operations with greater trust and reliability. Entropic says it tested the chatbot to distinguish between incorrect statements from admissions of uncertainty, i.e. “I don’t know”, obtaining the results just described.

Among other new features, Claude 2.1 offers a new beta feature that includes the ability to make web searchesuse different functions or APIs defined by developers and retrieve information from different sources.
Users can then define a set of tools that Claude can use to specify a request, then the model will decide which tool is needed, how to use a calculator, transform requests into language natural in structured API calls, answer questions by searching databases or using a web search API, connect to dataset of products to make recommendations and help users complete purchases and use Private APIs to perform other simple actions.
Finally, two particularly interesting new features. The first is the new window of tests to try out prompts, which will be useful for developers to access settings and optimize Claude’s behavior, as well as being able to create multiple requests and move between different projects, with the ability to save revisions.
The second is that the chatbot now also supports personalized instructions and persistent, which, as with GPT-4, means that you can customize the chatbot to respond in specific ways or with specific personalities.
Claude 2.1 is now available in the API and chat interface at claude.aiboth for the level free than for that Pro, while the use of the 200K token context window is reserved for the Claude Pro user.
