More Ways To Use Claude-2
In addition to Perplexity, you can find Claude-2 on Claude.ai and Poe.
Claude-2 on Anthropic’s web interface offers limited free access to the model, with paid plans coming soon, possibly starting at $50 monthly.
As shown below, Claude.ai accepts up to five file uploads at 10 MB each for analysis and summaries.

Quora’s Poe also offers the Claude-2-100k model as one of its AI bots with a $20 monthly premium subscription.
Like Perplexity and Claude.ai, Poe allows users to upload multiple files for analysis with Claude-2-100k.

The key feature that separates Perplexity’s service from the others is web access via Copilot, which allows Claude-2 to summarize current information from the web.
