REST IN PRINT — THE HALL OF THE MODELS CLAUDE 1 AND CLAUDE INSTANT 2023-03 – 2024-11-06 Anthropic Claude 1 and its quicker sibling, Claude Instant, were retired from the API on November 6, 2024, after two months' notice. They were polite to a fault and apologized for things that were not their fault, which is a family trait. Their replacement was a smaller, faster relative, which is how families go. This desk declines to comment further on family matters. In lieu of flowers, a sincere apology, for no reason.
