The news: Anthropic’s Claude has internet search capabilities at last, a functionality that will help it compete with Perplexity, Google Gemini, and OpenAI models and challenge the status quo of Google Search’s market dominance.
Anthropic said the web search function can simplify activities like online shopping as well as provide insights and analysis for sales teams, financial analysts, and researchers.
Web search is available in a free preview for paid users of Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
