Claude 2 will even be able to generate short stories “up to a few thousand tokens,” the company announced. Its coding capabilities have also improved, rising to a score of 71.2 percent on the Codex HumanEval benchmark, up from 56 percent.The Claude “Constitutional AI” system is already guided by 10 “foundational” principals of fairness and autonomy. Extensive red-team testing since the release of the first version has tempered Claude 2 into a more emotionally stable and harder to fool AI. Compared to its predecessor Claude 2 is reportedly, “2x better at giving harmless responses compared to Claude... Continue reading at 'Engadget'
