Anthropic has introduced a new web search feature for its Claude API, allowing developers to enhance their applications with real-time information from the web. This feature enables Claude to access current data, analyze it, and provide comprehensive answers with citations to the original sources, announced on their website.
The web search tool is designed to augment Claude's existing knowledge by integrating up-to-date insights, making it particularly useful for applications in financial services, legal research, and developer tools. Developers can control the extent of web searches through adjustable parameters, allowing for tailored responses based on specific needs.
This feature is available for Claude 3.7 Sonnet, the upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku, with pricing set at $10 per 1,000 searches plus standard token costs. By enabling web search, developers can build AI solutions that leverage current information without the need to manage their own web search infrastructure.
