Anthropic launched an Android app for its Claude artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot on Tuesday. The Android app comes a couple of months after the AI firm released an iOS app for Claude. Users can find the Claude AI app free to download on the Play Store. The interface works similarly to the website, and even free users can take advantage of all the basic features. The chatbot is powered by Claude 3.5 Sonnet by default, which was released by the company last month.

Claude AI Android App Launched

The AI firm announced the launch of the Android app via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). Unlike the iOS app release, Anthropic did not specify if this was a global release or would only be available in select regions. Gadgets 360 was able to access the app through the Play Store. Notably, the Claude AI app is 4.12MB in size.

Claude's Android app is free to download and use. However, users will have to sign up using an email and register their account with their phone number. Free users will be able to access all the basic features of the text-based AI model. Since Claude 3.5 Sonnet powers the chatbot now, users will also be able to access its computer vision capabilities. To use the feature, users will need to give the app access to the camera and the gallery. Once done, they can click any picture and ask the AI for information about it.

Apple Will Reportedly Offer Gemini AI Alongside ChatGPT on iOS 18

Interestingly, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which was released last month, comes with a 200,000 token context window. The company claims that the latest model can run twice as fast as the Claude 3 Opus model. Further, it can also independently write, edit, and execute code. Vision capabilities of the AI model were also improved with 3.5 Sonnet.

However, free users may find a rate limit restriction after receiving responses to a certain number of messages. To use the chatbot beyond that, users will need the Claude Pro subscription. It offers a five times higher rate limit and access to additional AI models such as Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3 Haiku.

Pro users also get priority access during high-traffic periods and early access to new features. In India, the Claude Pro subscription is priced at Rs. 1,999 a month.
