Anthropic Releases the Claude 3 Model Family

[engine]

Anthropic has released the latest version of the Claude family: Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Opus

Opus, our most intelligent model, outperforms its peers on most of the common evaluation benchmarks for AI systems, including undergraduate level expert knowledge (MMLU), graduate level expert reasoning (GPQA), basic mathematics (GSM8K), and more. It exhibits near-human levels of comprehension and fluency on complex tasks, leading the frontier of general intelligence.

All Claude 3 models show increased capabilities in analysis and forecasting, nuanced content creation, code generation, and conversing in non-English languages like Spanish, Japanese, and French.

Huh. Any relation to the claudebot/ClaudeBot that has been flooding me with requests for robots.txt, up to several dozen a day?

What does it show? Is it anthropic-ai If so, block that.

What does it show?

claudebot/ClaudeBot and-that’s-all. For this reason, it falls into bad_agent, netting it a minimalist “Disallow everything” in robots.txt. If it requested anything else it would be blocked, but surprisingly it doesn’t. It just keeps hoping robots.txt will say something different than it did the previous 95 times.

ClaudeBot has been around since before AI ... not the same thing.

not the same thing

Matter of fact, it may not even be the same thing as itself, given the variations in IP and casing. Shrug.

Returning to the original topic: I find a handful of “anthropic-ai”, and a whopping total of two

Claude-Web/1.0 (web crawler; +https://www.anthropic.com/; [e-mail])

(which I believe is what this thread is about), neither of them ever requesting anything but robots.txt. That’s all right then: The only thing better than a blocked request is a request that isn’t made at all.
