A feature of Claude where it can create shareable, executable HTML and JavaScript pages. See Everything I built with Claude Artifacts this week for several detailed examples.

Box shadow CSS generator (via) Another example of a tiny personal tool I built using Claude 3.5 Sonnet and artifacts. In this case my prompt was:
CSS for a slight box shadow, build me a tool that helps me twiddle settings and preview them and copy and paste out the CSS
I changed my mind half way through typing the prompt and asked it for a custom tool, and it built me this!
Here's the full transcript - in a follow-up prompt I asked for help deploying it and it rewrote the tool to use <script type="text/babel"> and the babel-standalone library to add React JSX support directly in the browser - a bit of a hefty dependency (387KB compressed / 2.79MB total) but I think acceptable for this kind of one-off tool.
Being able to knock out tiny custom tools like this on a whim is a really interesting new capability. It's also a lot of fun!
Building search-based RAG using Claude, Datasette and Val Town
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique for adding extra “knowledge” to systems built on LLMs, allowing them to answer questions against custom information not included in their training data. A common way to implement this is to take a question from a user, translate that into a set of search queries, run those against a search engine and then feed the results back into the LLM to generate an answer.
[... 3,372 words]Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Anthropic released a new model this morning, and I think it's likely now the single best available LLM. Claude 3 Opus was already mostly on-par with GPT-4o, and the new 3.5 Sonnet scores higher than Opus on almost all of Anthropic's internal evals.
It's also twice the speed and one fifth of the price of Opus (it's the same price as the previous Claude 3 Sonnet). To compare:
- gpt-4o: $5/million input tokens and $15/million output
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet: $3/million input, $15/million output
- Claude 3 Opus: $15/million input, $75/million output
Similar to Claude 3 Haiku then, which both under-cuts and out-performs OpenAI's GPT-3.5 model.
In addition to the new model, Anthropic also added a "artifacts" feature to their Claude web interface. The most exciting part of this is that any of the Claude models can now build and then render web pages and SPAs, directly in the Claude interface.
This means you can prompt them to e.g. "Build me a web app that teaches me about mandelbrot fractals, with interactive widgets" and they'll do exactly that - I tried that prompt on Claude 3.5 Sonnet earlier and the results were spectacular (video demo).
An unsurprising note at the end of the post:
To complete the Claude 3.5 model family, we’ll be releasing Claude 3.5 Haiku and Claude 3.5 Opus later this year.
If the pricing stays consistent with Claude 3, Claude 3.5 Haiku is going to be a very exciting model indeed.
