Anthropic’s Claude AI Can Now Digest an Entire Book like The Great Gatsby in Seconds
AI company Anthropic has announced it has given its ChatGPT-like Claude AI language model the ability to analyze an entire book’s worth of material in under a minute. This new ability comes from expanding Claude’s context window to 100,000 tokens, or about 75,000 words. From a report: Like OpenAI’s GPT-4, Claude is a large language model (LLM) that works by predicting the next token in a sequence when given a certain input. Tokens are fragments of words used to simplify AI data processing, and a “context window” is similar to short-term memory — how much human-provided input data an LLM can process at once. A larger context window means an LLM can consider larger works like books or participate in very long interactive conversations that span “hours or even days.”

All across North America today, over 2,000 comic book stores are celebrating Free Comic Book Day.
