Great but it stills leaves the problem of accessing it. I have never heard back on access from Anthropic's website and still waiting on the request through Bedrock. Not sure the success rate of others but it seems impossible as a business to get access to the API. Not a downplay on their announcement but with how difficult it seems to get API access its hard to see the improvement.

Same experience on my side; they're uninterested in actually running the business it seems.

Howdy, CISO of Anthropic here. Sorry that you've had a bad sign-up process. Not sure how this happened, but please reach out to support@ and we'll look into it!

For coding it is still 10x worse than gpt4. I asked it to write a simple database sync function and it gives me tons of pseudocode like `//sync object with best practices`. When I ask it to give me real code it forgets tons of key aspects.

Yeah but to be honest been a pain last days to get gpt 4 to write full pieces of code for more the 10-15 lines. Have to re-ask many times and at some point it forgets my initial specifications.

noticing the same - what about with gpt-4 via api?

I would love to use their API but I can never get anyone to respond to me. It's like they have no real interest in being a developer platform. Has anyone gotten their vague application approved?

I just use it for tests and experiments, and it took about 1 week after I signed up for a test account.

This has exactly been my experience for at least the last 3 months. At this point, I am thinking if paying that 20 bucks is even worth anymore which is a shame because when gpt-4 first came out, it was remembering everything in a long conversation and self-correcting itself based on modifications.

So cool! I usually use Racket Scheme when playing with Anthropic's Claude. I just changed the model name to "claude-2.1" in my client library [1] and all is excellent. [1] https://leanpub.com/racket-ai/read#leanpub-auto-using-the-an...

For the sake of pedantry, I believe that Racket thinks it's separate to Scheme now, history and similarity notwithstanding.

I usually say Racket Scheme because probably nobody has heard of Racket - really a niche language. You can choose between numerous language types, and Scheme is one of them. You are correct, Racket is kind of a language creation tool now.

They should show a bit of decency and stand in solidarity with their colleagues at OpenAI

Their competitors at OpenAI?

I'm all for solidarity in the face of adversity, but privileged people playing politics is not real adversity.

Although we're not using Claude in production (yet), it's a regular part of our testing when we build new features with LLMs. Part of the reason why we haven't used it (yet) is because OpenAI had more certifications faster, so we went to market with them. And their API has just gotten better and more reliable ever since, and it's cheap. But now that Claude is in AWS Bedrock that opens up some things for us that were previously closed.

In my experience, my exact prompt (modulo a few tiny tweaks) works just as well in development with Claude Instant as it does GPT 3.5. And it's just as fast!
