The AI chatbot Claude can now provide answers based on real-time information from the internet. This functionality is not yet available in Europe.
Anthropic’s AI assistant Claude can now search the internet to offer more current and relevant answers. This functionality works with the Claude 3.7 Sonnet model and requires a paid subscription. Currently, this option is only available to users in the United States. It is not yet clear when this will be expanded to multiple countries.
Searching the Web
“With the search function on the web, Claude has access to the most recent events and information, increasing accuracy in tasks that benefit from the most recent data,” the company said in a blog post. Previously, Claude could only rely on data during the training process, with a limit up to October 2024.
This new functionality works with Claude 3.7 Sonnet and is only available with the paid subscription. An AI chatbot being able to retrieve information from the internet is not new. Other AI companies, including OpenAI, already offer this capability. ChatGPT has been able to use information from the internet to formulate answers since 2023 via a plug-in.
