OpenAI takes its AI fight with Anthropic to Big Law
OpenAI launches Astra for Law, targeting AmLaw 200 firms with advanced legal AI tools. It's a bid to outpace Anthropic in the rivalry over legal work.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman launched Astra for Law, a specialized AI tool for the legal industry, in a move to compete with Anthropic, its main rival. The new offering, which integrates with legal tech firms Harvey and Legora, aims to provide advanced AI solutions tailored for lawyers and law firms. OpenAI's Astra for Law features plugin tools, enhanced legal case search capabilities, and customizable model settings that will enable other developers to build upon the technology.
