Now available to premium users in the United States, Claude, Anthropic’s helper, has a web search feature for real-time information. This helps a variety of sectors by enabling Claude to reference sources and offer condensed perspectives.
Anthropic, an AI company, has released a web search feature for Claude, its assistant, which allows it to retrieve current information from the internet. The goal of the functionality, which is now available to paid customers in the US in preview, is to increase response accuracy for subjects that call for recent data.
According to Anthropic, the search feature enables Claude to reference original sources, enabling users to confirm information. Users receive verbal summaries of insights rather of having to conduct laborious online searches.
It is anticipated that the feature would be used in several different sectors. According to the business, researchers can access primary sources for their studies, financial analysts can follow earnings reports, and sales teams can keep an eye on market trends. Before making a purchase, customers may also compare product reviews and details.
With intentions to expand access to free users and other locations, the web search integration is currently only available to premium users in the United States. Before utilizing Claude 3.7 Sonnet, users can activate the feature by making changes to their profile settings.
As businesses improve tools for real-time information retrieval, this development fits with a broader trend of integrating live data access into AI assistants.
Anthropic introduced Claude 3.7 Sonnet, their newest language model, last month to compete with DeepSeek and ChatGPT. With Claude Code, a new tool for developers, Anthropic also made its initial moves toward AI agents.
Claude made a significant departure from the conventional story of having both an autonomous reasoning model and a pre-trained model. Rather, the business founded by Dario Amodei has combined the reasoning model with the frontier model. This means that users can ask the chatbot to pause its response and think more deeply, which basically activates the reasoning mode where the chatbot considers its response before responding
According to Claude, activating the reasoning mode—also known as the “extended thinking mode”—helps the model perform better on a variety of activities, including coding, math, physics, and following directions.
