🥟 Chao-Down #324 Anthropic launches iPhone app and enterprise business plan to compete with OpenAI, Self-driving tractor-trailers are coming to the US, UPenn announces an AI master's degree

Anthropic just became the next major AI company to offer a $30 per user per month enterprise offering, putting it in the same leagues of OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. Its chatbot Claude competes directly with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.

Alongside the launch, the company is also releasing an iPhone app with an Android one soon to follow. The app will allow syncing with web chats and uploading photos and files. 

It looks like Anthropic is becoming serious about growing its business. After raising billions of dollars, expectations are sky high that they deliver.
