Anthropic’s memory goes from goldfish to elephant
“Anthropic expanded the context window for Claude — its flagship text-generating AI model, still in preview — from 9,000 tokens to 100,000 tokens. Context window refers to the text the model considers before generating additional text, while tokens represent raw text.”

Also, if you haven’t had a chance to try Bard, it is now available for everyone. So you should try it out.

Wendy’s tests an AI chatbot that takes your drive-thru order
It’s a natural evolution, and I’ve been impressed at a few drive-thrus when I’ve used bots before. So we’ll see how this tech continues to mature.
“The fast-food chain is partnering with Google to train an AI model that knows what ‘biggie bags’ and ‘JBC’ mean.”
