Anthropic launched a significant upgrade to its conversational AI assistant, Claude 2, with 100k context windows.
The new Claude-2-100k model provides improved performance, longer responses, and expanded access through a public beta website and API integration.
Claude 2 Analyzes Up To Five Files At A Time
You can upload up to five documents for analysis in a chat.
The new model of Claude can handle longer input and output, analyzing documents of up to 100,000 tokens and writing content with up to a few thousand tokens.
I tested the upload feature in Claude 2 with a 31-page PDF file of a study, and it quickly responded with the following.
I also asked it some basic questions about an exported GA4 report.
This makes it the perfect alternative to any ChatGPT plugin offering PDF analysis.
Improved Reasoning Capabilities
Claude 2 demonstrates stronger language and reasoning capabilities than previous versions, scoring higher on tests like the BAR exam and GRE.

The company claims this model has much better coding abilities, with significantly higher scores on programming evaluations.
Anthropic says safety has been a focus in developing Claude, making it less likely to generate harmful content. The company uses extensive techniques and testing to reduce risks.
The public website offers users disclaimers about the AI assistant upon signup about the reliability of the information.
It also lets users review the company’s safety policies.
