We have some major news this week out of Anthropic that Connor and I are dying to tell you about.

0:05.8

So there's a few things. One of the biggest things is that Claude's new LLM is beating OpenAI on certain

0:13.1

benchmarks, GPT4. This is actually very hard to do. It's kind of been interesting in something I've

0:17.1

almost laughed about over the last year that everyone that comes out with an AI model, they like put the benchmarks of themselves versus GBT 3.5 because no one even wants to compare

0:25.1

themselves to GPT4. We're now getting to a point where these models are getting better than GPT4.

0:30.0

Of course, Open AI is probably going to launch GPT5 soon. So, you know, like, you know, hold your horses.

0:34.6

But this is amazing. Claude is doing it. Claude's an amazing model.

0:38.0

In addition to this, they announced something absolutely insane, which is a 2.5 or 2.75.

0:45.3

$2.75 billion investment from Amazon. So, yeah, Connor, what have you been seeing here?

0:51.3

Jane, where do you even begin on this? Anthropic is having itself a week, you know, or this past week.

It was just bonkers.

0:59.2

I mean, so first of all, Jaden, we were talking about it.

1:01.4

It was kind of a weird quiet week for a little while there.

1:03.6

And then Amazon kind of comes out and tells the world that they're doing $2.75 billion

1:07.5

into Anthropic. And they might have been reading the tea leaves a little bit just

1:11.3

because you and I and a lot of other people got access to Claude 3, whenever that was a couple

1:16.1

weeks ago. And I'm hearing just from anecdotally, but certainly I'm experiencing Claude 3 is just

1:22.0

so, so good. But here's the interesting thing, right? A lot of different places to take this because Amazon, this was its largest venture investment ever. And when you're talking about that with Amazon, like, that's pretty serious. And so just the implications of that for like what they're offering like enterprise users and through bedrock and through, you know, their cloud provider, all that kind of stuff. Like, they're clearly, you know, making a really, really big bet in Anthropic.

1:48.4

Of course, Google has also made a big bet for Amthropic early on.

1:51.6

I think, again, I think Google invested.

1:53.6

I think it was like $300 million back when the valuation of Anthropic was very low. But the thing that I'm, again, sort of like the most interested in, in a way, is this chatbot arena leaderboard.

2:05.3

And, Jaden, you kind of hit the nail on the head, right?
