At Google Cloud, we’re committed to empowering customer choice and innovation through our curated collection of first-party, open-source, and third-party models available in Vertex AI. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Claude 3 — Anthropic’s new family of state-of-the-art models — will be generally available in Vertex AI Model Garden over the coming weeks, including private preview access for one of the models starting today.
Claude is Anthropic’s next-generation AI assistant that helps manage organizations’ tasks, no matter the scale. Anthropic’s launch of Claude 3 includes a family of three distinct models optimized for various enterprise applications:
Claude 3 Opus: Anthropic’s most capable and intelligent model yet.Claude 3 Sonnet: Anthropic’s best combination of skills and speed.Claude 3 Haiku: Anthropic’s fastest, most compact model.
Compared to earlier iterations of Claude, both Claude 3 Opus and Sonnet offer superior reasoning across complex tasks, content creation, scientific queries, math, and coding, while Haiku is Anthropic’s fastest and most cost-effective model. All Claude 3 models boast improved fluency in non-English languages, as well as vision capabilities that unlock tasks ranging from image metadata generation to insights extraction across PDFs, flow charts, and a diverse range of other formats.
In the weeks ahead, Google Cloud customers will be able to select from all three Claude 3 models via API access in Vertex AI Model Garden. And starting today, customers can apply for private preview access to Claude 3 Sonnet in Model Garden.
