ChatGPT rival Claude AI can comprehend an entire book in seconds

Plus: Why the US government wants to recall 67 million airbags. Sponsored by Anyone who has used OpenAI’s ChatGPT knows that there is a limit to how much text the bot can process in a single prompt. For example, an entire 300 page novel would be far too much for it to deal with at once. Now an upstart artificial intelligence company, founded by two former OpenAI employees, has announced that Claude AI can handle up to 100,000 tokens at once. This is equivalent to 75,000 words, or around the length of the average novel. In contrast, it would take a human about five hours to read that amount of text. Learn more about this significant step forward, and what it means for AI applications, in our Must Read article, below. But first, here’s [your video of the day](. Good morning.

MUST READ [Claude AI]( [ChatGPT rival Claude AI can comprehend an entire book in seconds]( Back in March, we [reported]( that Anthropic, an artificial intelligence (AI) company founded by former OpenAI employees Daniela and Dario Amodei, had launched its own chatbot, dubbed Claude. Since then, Claude AI has made a significant leap forward in processing speed, and is now capable of understanding a book of around 75,000 words in seconds. Claude’s upgraded ability is attributed to its expanded “context window” —the number of data fragments or “tokens” it can process at once — which now stands at 100,000 tokens, more than three times the capability of the rival [GPT-4 API](. Claude was able to spot a change in one line of the entire text of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel “The Great Gatsby,” a task it accomplished in just 22 seconds. Claude can also answer complex questions about the text and provide in-depth analysis. With this capability, the time it takes businesses to make sense of complex information, such as financial data, could be drastically reduced.

Stockholm University researchers have developed porous crystals from pomegranate extract to help purify water from pharmaceutical pollutants. When exposed to light, these porous crystals will also degrade pharmaceutical molecules found in the local municipal wastewater leading to a cleaner and better environment.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has urged for a recall of 67 million airbag inflators in the U.S. following an investigation into safety concerns. Their report cites nine incidents that involved rupturing of airbags which led to injuries or even death of passengers since 2009. Seven of these incidents occurred in the U.S. and led to one death while another fatal incident was reported in Canada. The airbag inflators in these incidents were manufactured by ARC Automotive.
