If you showed someone this article 10 years ago, they would say it indicates Artificial General Intelligence has arrived.

That's the good thing about intelligence: We have no fucking clue how to define it, so the goalpost just keeps moving.

In both directions. There are a set of people who are convinced that dolphins, octopi and dogs have intelligence, but GPT et al don't.

I'm in the camp that says GPT4 has it. It's not a superhuman level of general intelligence, far from it, but it is a general intelligence that's doing more than regurgitation and rules-following.

What's up with the weird list of the supported countries? It isn't available in most European countries (except for Ukraine and UK) but on the other hand lot of African counties are listed... https://www.anthropic.com/claude-ai-locations

I seem to remember Google Bard was limited in Europe as well because there was just too much risk getting slapped by the EU regulators for making potentially unsafe AI accessible to the European public.

Crazy to be so ahead of the curve but sacrifice all first mover advantage in an entire continent like this.

That continent wants their citizens to be safe. So, their citizens are going to pay the price of not having access to these developments as they are happening. I really doubt any of these big players will willingly launch in EU given how big the fines are from EU.

More opportunity for mistral and other EU competitors then I suppose

AFAIK there's no strict EU ban but no EU country is listed here: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-ai-locations Perhaps you meant Europe the continent or using a VPN? edit: They seem to have updated that list after I posted my comment, the outdated list I based my comment on: https://web.archive.org/web/20240225034138/https://www.anthr... edit2: I was confused. There is another list for API regions, which has all EU c…

They updated the list of supported countries here: https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries I was just able to sign up, while not being able to a few weeks ago.

That's the list of countries supported by the API. For some reason, they support fewer countries through their frontend. I'm curious why that is.

Does any of those LLM-as-a-service companies provide a mechanism to "save" a given input? Paying only for the state storage and the extra input when continuing the completion from the snapshot? Indeed, at 1M token and $15/M tokens, we are talking of $10+ API calls (per call) when maxing out the LLM capacity. I see plenty of use cases for such a big context, but re-paying, at every API call, to re-submit the exact sam…

> I see plenty of use cases for such a big context, but re-paying, at every API call, to re-submit the exact same knowledge base seems very inefficient. If you don't care about latency or can wait to set up a batch of inputs in one go there's an alternative method. I call it batch prompting and pretty much everything we do at work with gpt-4 uses this now. If people are interested I'll do a proper writeup on how to i…

I attempted similar mechanics multiple times in the past, but always ditched them, as there was always a non-negligable amount of cross-contamination happening between the individual instances you are batching. That caused so much of a headache that it wasn't really worth it.

Anthropic is also not really a traditional startup. It’s just some large companies in a trench coat.

How so? Because they have taken large investments from Amazon and Google? Or would you also characterize OpenAI as "Microsoft in a trench coat"?

> 'would you also characterize OpenAI as "Microsoft in a trench coat"?'

Elon Musk seems to think that, based on his recent lawsuit.

I wouldn't agree but the argument has some validity if you look at the role Microsoft played in reversing the Altman firing.

Why is that ? Thanks for the tip that will help 700 million people.

They don't want to comply with the GDPR or other EU laws.

Or perhaps they don’t want to hold the product back everywhere until that engineering work and related legal reviews are done.

Supporting EU has become an additional roadmap item, much like supporting China (for different reasons of course). It takes extra work and time, and why put the rest of the world on hold pending that work?

I just tried one prompt for a simple coding task involving DB and frontend, and Claude 3 Sonnet (the free and less powerful model) gave a better response than ChatGPT Classic (GPT-4).

It used the correct method of a lesser-known SQL ORM library, where GPT-4 made a mistake and used the wrong method.

Then I tried another prompt to generate SQL and it gave a worse response than ChatGPT Classic, still looks correct but much longer.
