AI company Anthropic is developing and has begun testing with early access customers a new AI model more capable than any it has released previously, the company said, following a data leak that revealed the model\u2019s existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An Anthropic spokesperson said the new model represented \u201ca step change\u201d in AI performance and was \u201cthe most capable we\u2019ve built to date.\u201d The company said the model is currently being trialed by \u201cearly access customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
