Anthropic announced general availability of Claude 3 Haiku and Claude 3 Sonnet on Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, with Claude 3 Opus to follow in coming weeks. The deployment gives enterprise customers access to Claude models within their existing Google Cloud environment, with associated data governance and security benefits. Quora's Poe app is cited as an early adopter, reporting millions of daily messages exchanged via Claude-based bots.
Anthropic announced the public launch of Claude on March 14, 2023, following a closed alpha with partners including Notion, Quora, and DuckDuckGo. The release introduced two model variants — Claude (high-performance) and Claude Instant (lighter and faster) — accessible via chat interface and API. Early partners reported Claude produced fewer harmful outputs and was more steerable than competing models, with deployments spanning education, legal tech, productivity, and search.
