Recently, Anthropic's AI model Claude3.5-sonnet has been closed to free users, causing concern among users. Free users can only use the Claude3Haiku model with simpler functions. This is not the first time a similar situation has occurred, with the model also briefly shut down a month ago due to a "partial operational outage." The reason for this closure is unknown and no official statement has been released, causing inconvenience to users who rely on this model.
Today, many users discovered that Claude3.5-sonnet is no longer open to free users. Free users cannot choose to use the Claude3.5Sonnet model originally commonly used, and can only use the Claude3Haiku model with relatively simple functions.
In fact, this situation also occurred a month ago. At that time, the official website claimed that Claude3.5Sonnet experienced a "partial operation interruption." I wonder if it is the same situation this time.
Claude3.5Sonnet is a new generation AI model launched by Claude in June this year. Once launched, it surpassed competitors and its predecessor Claude3Opus in multiple evaluations, while maintaining the same running speed and cost as mid-range models, becoming the industry's leading model. A new benchmark.
Main features:
Superior performance: Claude 3.5 Sonnet sets new industry benchmarks for graduate-level reasoning, undergraduate-level knowledge, and coding capabilities.
Improved understanding: The model makes significant improvements in understanding nuance, humor, and complex instructions, enabling the creation of high-quality content in a natural and approachable tone.
Improvement in running speed: Claude3.5Sonnet's running speed is twice that of Claude3Opus. In the internal proxy coding evaluation, 64% of the problems were solved, far exceeding Claude3Opus's 38%, which is particularly suitable for processing complex tasks.
A breakthrough in visual processing: Claude3.5Sonnet outperforms Claude3Opus on standard vision benchmarks, excelling in tasks requiring visual reasoning such as interpreting charts and graphs, while accurately transcribing text from imperfect images.
Closing the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model for free users this time may affect the experience of some users, especially those who rely on the advanced features of the model. For users who require complex tasks and visual processing, the change may force them to look for alternatives or upgrade to paid services.
At present, it is not clear the specific reason for the closure of free access, and there is no official statement explaining when it will reopen. For users who rely on the Claude3.5Sonnet model, this is undoubtedly a matter of concern. We will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter and update relevant information in a timely manner.
The closure of Claude3.5-sonnet is undoubtedly a loss for free users, but we look forward to the official explanation and restoration of services as soon as possible. We will continue to pay attention to the progress of the incident and provide users with the latest information.
