CLAUDE
Search the web for up-to-date information
In our ‘ChatGPT vs the rest’ feature in Issue 711 (page 56), we predicted that when Anthropic added web-search capabilities to the free version of Claude (www.claude.ai), the AI assistant would produce higher-quality responses. That’s now come to pass and all Claude users have access to web search through its new Sonnet 4 language model.
Like ChatGPT, Claude automatically searches the web when it determines a query would “benefit from up-to-date information or specialised knowledge”. This means you can ask it about current events, get the weather forecast and search for topics not covered in Claude’s training data.
