Claude

is an AI assistant created by Anthropic, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. As part of the Claude 3 model family, it represents a significant advancement in AI capabilities, with Claude 3.7 Sonnet being the latest version released in February 2025.

Claude excels at a wide range of tasks:

• Answering questions
• Writing and editing content
• Analyzing data
• Explaining complex concepts,
• Generating creative work.
• It's designed to understand nuanced requests, follow instructions precisely, and provide thoughtful, accurate responses.

Unlike search engines that actively crawl the internet, Claude doesn't search the web in real-time. Instead, it draws on information from its training data, which includes content from the internet, books, and other texts up to its knowledge cutoff date of October 2024. This means Claude can provide general knowledge but can't access or search for current information beyond its training data.

For medical residents conducting research:

• Can assist in drafting research proposals
• Analyzing existing literature in its knowledge base
• Generating hypotheses
• Explaining complex medical concepts
• Providing writing assistance
