AI DEVELOPMENT
Claude Takes a Leap: Now Equipped with Real-Time Web Search

Anthropic has introduced web search capabilities to Claude, allowing its AI assistant to access real-time information and bridging a significant feature gap with competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini.

Key Details:

• Web search is seamlessly integrated into Claude 3.7 Sonnet and automatically determines when to access the internet for more up-to-date or precise information.

• Claude now provides direct citations for web-sourced content, making it easier for users to verify sources and fact-check responses.

• This feature is currently available to all paid Claude users in the U.S., with plans for international and free-tier rollouts in the near future.

• Users can activate the feature by toggling the ‘Web Search’ option in their profile settings.

Why It Matters: It’s surprising that Claude has only just gained web access, considering how long its competitors have offered the feature. However, given the power of Anthropic’s models, adding real-time web access gives Claude a major edge, potentially overshadowing more search-focused platforms like Perplexity.
