On October 5, technology news outlet TestingCatalog reported that Anthropic has expanded the functionalities of its AI assistant, Claude, allowing it to handle context windows that exceed 200,000 tokens for user-uploaded files.
Currently, users attempting to upload files that surpass this limit encounter an error stating that the character count exceeds Claude’s processing capabilities. However, Anthropic is actively developing a new feature that will enable users to upload larger files by extracting and interacting with the content in chunks.
This enhancement positions Claude as a competitive player in the market, particularly against other advanced models like Gemini 1.5 Pro, which can handle up to 2 million tokens. If Claude can efficiently query reference files, it could significantly improve its utility in coding and other applications that involve large datasets.
Claude is part of a series of large language models developed by Anthropic, designed to support critical business use cases with a notably low rate of inaccuracies and a strong performance in managing lengthy documents.
