ChatGPT's big competitor launches paid version at half the price

Claude's Max, a new subscription plan for the Claude chatbot, is announced for $100 or $200/month. For comparison, OpenAI's ChatGPT Pro is priced at a flat $200/month.

Amazon-backed artificial intelligence startup Anthropic on April 9 introduced Claude's Max, a new paid version of its chatbot that competes directly with OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Specifically, customers only have to pay $100 per month for 5 times the usage of the Pro package, or $200 /month for 20 times the usage. For comparison, OpenAI's ChatGPT Pro, the equivalent version of Claude's Max package, currently has a fixed price of $200 per month.

Claude's Max plan sits above Anthropic's free and $20 /month plans, but below the enterprise version. According to the startup, subscribers will get "priority access to new models and capabilities, creating an exclusive channel for testing and deploying advanced Claude solutions."

According to CNBC , the Claude's Max package includes access to Claude's voice mode, a feature that will be introduced soon according to product manager Scott White.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet - Anthropic's latest model focused on analyzing and generating text and images has outperformed OpenAI's GPT-4o on several tasks.

Specifically, the model can analyze complex and nuanced statements and understand concepts like humor. Claude 3.5 Sonnet's response speed is twice as fast as the previous version.

Visual ability is also a strong point of Claude 3.5 Sonnet when it can analyze charts and graphs more accurately, besides recognizing text from "unclear" images such as distortion or noise.

The amount of text that Claude 3.5 Sonnet can analyze before generating new text is about 200,000 tokens, equivalent to 150,000 words. This is the same as Claude 3 Sonnet.

In Anthropic's comparison, Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperformed GPT-4o in college-level reasoning and coding, but lost in math.

For visual tasks like mathematical reasoning, scientific diagrams, or graph analysis, Anthropic's model outperforms both GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Pro.
