ChatGPT Rival ‘Claude’ Now Available in Europe, Accessible for Free

San Francisco:

Anthropic announced on Monday that its artificial intelligence assistant “Claude” is available in Europe after launching in the United States earlier this year.

“We are pleased to announce that Claude, Anthropic’s trusted AI assistant, is now available for people and businesses across Europe to boost their productivity and creativity,” the San Francisco-based tech startup said in a blog post .

Claude can be accessed for free in Europe online at claude.ai or using an app tailored for Apple mobile devices, according to Anthropic.

It is also available to businesses through a paid “Claude Team” subscription plan, the company added.

Rival OpenAI introduced the latest version of Claude in March.

“Claude has strong levels of understanding and fluency in French, German, Spanish, Italian and other European languages, allowing users to chat with Claude in multiple languages,” Anthropic said.

“Claude’s intuitive, easy-to-use interface makes it easy to seamlessly integrate our advanced AI models into your workflows.”

OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in late 2021 has sparked great interest in generative AI that allows computers to create images, videos, computer code, or written work from simple text instructions.

Founded by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic strives to differentiate itself from its competitors by incorporating more stringent safeguards into its technology to prevent it from being misused.

Millions of people are already using Claude for a variety of purposes, according to Anthropic co-founder and chief executive Dario Amodei. “I can’t wait to see what European people and companies will be able to create with Claude,” said Amodei.

An application programming interface for developers interested in using Anrópica AI has been accessible in Europe since the beginning of this year, according to the company.

Anthropic has raised at least $7 billion in funding since 2021, with its backers including Amazon, Google and Salesforce.
