Claude

By Anthropic
AI Assistant Large Language Model (LLM) AI-Driven

Claude is a family of large language models developed by Anthropic, an AI safety and research company. Accessed via a web interface (claude.ai) and an API, Claude models (like the Claude 3 family: Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) excel at tasks like sophisticated dialogue, content creation, complex reasoning, summarization, and coding. A key differentiator is its large context window (up to 200K tokens, roughly 150,000 words, with potential for more), making it suitable for analyzing lengthy documents or conversations. Anthropic emphasizes safety through its "Constitutional AI" training methodology, aiming to make Claude helpful, honest, and harmless. For legal professionals, its large context window is particularly interesting for summarizing or querying long depositions, contracts, or rulings (subject to accuracy verification and confidentiality precautions). Like other general LLMs, it is not a specialized legal tool and carries risks related to accuracy and confidentiality. Paid/API versions offer stronger privacy assurances than potential free tiers.
