AI firm Anthropic is taking aim at enterprise customers with a new subscription plan for its chatbot, Claude.
After a busy year of rapid launches, the newcomer — Claude for Enterprise — will go head-to-head with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise plan.
The launch is a fresh challenge for OpenAI with the two chatbots already being weighed up against each other.
What Does Claude Enterprise Deliver?
For starters, the business-specific solution delivers an expanded 500K context window, substantially improving the processing power of the AI chatbot, even from just a single prompt.
The new plan also offers native GitHub integration, which will be a big draw for engineering teams. On top of that, the Anthropic team has boosted the usage capacity of Claude. It says in a release statement that it has also upped the security features for subscribers with Single Sign-On, role-based permissions, and admin tools.

Anthropic also added: “We do not train Claude on your conversations and content,” which is similar to OpenAI’s policies.
Targeting Fortune 500 companies
In March, Anthropic launched a trio of models – Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Sonnet – which have become popular with coders – and Claude 3 Haiku, claimed to be its fastest model yet.
All three are powered by the Claude 3 LLM, which not only beats its predecessor, but was also claimed to be more than a worthy adversary to ChatGPT-4 and Google’s Gemini Ultra. The Tech.co team put this claim to the test in a detailed challenge between OpenAI and Anthropic; and the results did sway in Claude’s favor.
In May, Anthropic unveiled its Claude Team plan and iOS app; and the Android app was announced in July. The company is now teasing a 3.5 model family with Claude 3.5 Sonnet leading the pack and available now for free but with rate limits.
Price for subscription to be confirmed
There isn’t a price as yet for the new Enterprise Plan, but Anthropic product lead Scott White told TechCrunch that it will be more than the Team plan (which costs $30 per month, per member).
Price will be key as OpenAI offers more for less; and getting subscribers is going to be a heated battle in the enterprise space.
