Summary

  • AI company Anthropic has enhanced its AI assistant Claude, enabling it to run for up to 45 minutes and conduct deeper investigations across numerous sources.
  • Anthropic’s ‘Research’ feature, which allows Claude to compile research reports in document form, was launched in April, following similar functions from Google and OpenAI.
  • The new mode breaks down complex requests into more manageable parts, examining each one and providing a report with original source citations.
  • However, users must still fact-check results as AI engines can produce false or irrelevant information, especially when answering nuanced questions.
  • For instance, Anthropic’s Research feature provides nuanced responses when asked Who Invented Video Games?, but these answers require careful verification.
