Anthropic Launches New Subscription Plan for Its AI Chatbot, Claude, Targeted towards Enterprise Customers with More Administrative Controls and Increased Security. Claude Enterprise will go against OpenAI's business-specific solution launched roughly a year ago, called ChatGPT Enterprise.

Claude Enterprise allows companies to upload proprietary knowledge about their company, which Anthropic's AI chatbot Claude can then analyze, answer questions about, create graphics and simple web pages, or serve as a company-specific AI assistant.

For now, the anthropic seems to be playing catch-up with OpenAI by trying to put Claude everywhere ChatGPT already is. The startup has managed to create a few ways of using Claude closely in how OpenAI already offers it with ChatGPT.

"The truth is that Claude has been usable to companies for a year. Candidly, we've had a product in the market for a lot less long," Anthropic product lead Scott White tells TechCrunch. "But we're responding to the needs of our customers at a high velocity with a smaller team."

In May, Anthropic released the Claude Team plan which, much like the ChatGPT team plan, allowed small businesses to collaborate on projects. Since the spring, Anthropic has launched Claude mobile apps for both iOS and Android. And now, it's entering a field of competition with ChatGPT Enterprise, which has become widely adopted among Fortune 500 companies.

But the enterprise offering from Anthropic is different in some important ways from what's available elsewhere. For example, the context window on Claude Enterprise is 500,000 tokens-that is to say, models built with Anthropic's tech can process up to 200,000 lines of code, dozens of 100-page documents, or a two-hour audio transcript all in a single prompt. In comparison, context windows on ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude's Team plan offer less than half that.

Projects and Artifacts are also part of Claude Enterprise. It is Anthropic's workspaces where content can be uploaded and edited by several users. The above features would be useful in business cases, when working on a long-term project involving many data sources and people involved.

The Enterprise plan also comes with GitHub integration, allowing engineering teams to sync their GitHub repositories with Claude. Coding has become one of the most popular use cases for Claude Sonnet 3.5, and this integration means that Anthropic's models can have direct access to its customers' codebases, which can be helpful in getting a new engineer up to speed, creating a new feature or even just solving a bug for instance.

As with ChatGPT's Enterprise plan, the Claude Enterprise offer allows businesses to appoint a company owner who is in charge of your company's workspace. That owner may then assign levels of access to projects and information within Claude as well as track activity across the system for security and compliance monitoring purposes.

Also like OpenAI, Anthropic is assuring customers it is not training on Claude Enterprise customer data. That matters for many businesses that don't want their trade secrets to show up in Claude's knowledge base or ChatGPT's six months from now.

Anthropic won't disclose how much Claude Enterprise costs, but White said it is more expensive than Anthropic's Team plan, which starts at $30 per month, per member. White said this is because Enterprise customers get far more mileage out of Claude—with more extensive context windows, with higher rate limits. For what it's worth, OpenAI won't release the price of its enterprise product into the wild either.

White says Anthropic has been running in private beta for months, using early adopters including GitLab, Midjourney, IG Group, and Menlo Ventures-an investor in Anthropic.

However, it's going to need widespread adoption. AI model developers like Anthropic have been forced to sell API access for ever-lower prices. Products like Claude Enterprise offer a path to revenue, though it's not yet clear if any of the AI model developers are currently generating any revenue off business-specific plans like these.
