Anthropic's Claude AI could be your best buddy in speed-reading. This generative artificial intelligence is capable of finishing a book in less than a minute, and we're talking about those with over 50,000 words.
If you have this AI by your side, you can digest Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" without even undergoing a tedious cycle of flipping the book's page.
Claude AI Can Read and Analyze 75,000 Words in Less Than 60 Seconds
If we are talking about speed reading, there's only one person that comes into our mind: Howard Berg, who was recognized by the 1990 Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest reader in the world.
Howard is so fast in reading that he can read over 25,000 words in just a minute. He can also write over 100 words in 60 seconds. It's pretty impressive to hear until you know about Claude AI.
According to PCMag, Anthropic, the creator behind Claude, says that Claude has surpassed its limit of 9,000 tokens to 100,000 tokens.
To give you an idea of how impressive this AI is, it can digest the content of "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway in a minute. This book has 74,240 words.
Claude is quite similar to ChatGPT when it comes to the number of tokens that it can process. It's simply a clear-cut statement that an AI is only capable of responding to a limited number of characters, let alone its weakness, that it can't convey human emotions.
For reference, OpenAI's ChatGPT can only process around 4,000 tokens. Anthropic managed to create an AI that can summarize long novels in a few blinks.

Claude Can Act as a Business Analyst
Aside from its speed reading power that even ChatGPT cannot surpass, Claude AI is also capable of detecting how a book is modified.
Anthropic says that it tried to load "Great Gatsby," which is composed of more than 47,000 words. What's more, it changed one line into "Mr. Carraway was a software engineer that works on machine learning tooling at Anthropic."
Surprisingly, the results turned out to be amazing for Anthropic as Claude easily spotted the modified line in just 22 seconds, per Engadget. If it's a person who will be tasked to find an altered phrase, it might take him/her a few hours.
As per Ars Technica, Claude's ability to read books at an unimaginable pace could help businesses get important information from long-page documents. It can also be a useful tool to summarize the research papers into a simpler article, not to mention its impact on the coding and legislation documents.
While Anthropic is not as popular as OpenAI in generative AI, the company only proves that it can go toe-to-toe with more popular AI-centered firms on the planet right now.
