AI firm Anthropic has recently unveiled that users of Claude who haven't opted for paid subscriptions can now enjoy a range of sophisticated features that were once reserved for premium members. These features encompass file creation and editing, integration with third-party service connectors, and specialized skill functionalities. Previously, Anthropic's primary rival, OpenAI, had been bombarding free users and those on the most basic Go plan of ChatGPT with advertisements. Anthropic's strategic decision is widely perceived as a dual initiative to bolster both the 'ad-free user experience' and 'complimentary feature set,' aiming to lure users in the competitive landscape of generative AI chatbots.
