This is amazing - I far prefer the personality of Claude to GPT-4 series models. Also, with coding tasks, Claude-3-Opus and been far better for me vs gpt-4-turbo and gpt-4o both. Looking forward to giving it a spin. Seems like it's doing better than GPT-4o in most benchmarks though I'd like to see if its speed is comparable or not. Also, eagerly awaiting the LMSYS blind comparison results!

I'm honestly shocked people are saying this. I use both and GPT-4 is usually better.

What kind of coding tasks is Claude 3 opus doing for people ?

I do wonder if GPT quality fluctuates seasonally, or with electricity costs, in an engineering effort to balance costs with performance.

I agree on all your points, but would like to emphasize that I really do enjoy the voice input voice output thing that chatgpt's app has. Its not how I use it when working, but when commuting, a lot of times, I'll turn on the the chatgpt app and have a conversation with it exploring ideas related to work or side projects. Its better than NPR, and I can't listen to the '3d6 Down the Line' podcast everyday, just once a week.

I've been subscribed to PHind, which is a decent service allowing access to their models, chatgpt 4 turbo and o, and claudes. Its been incredibly useful, especially with their search integration. Unfortunately, while chatgpt can be used 500 times a day, Claude is only 10, although I guess it goes into an API like payment mode after that on top of subscription.

I sure wish I'd buckle down and calculate my usage to really get an idea of whether subscription is cheaper or more expensive for me compared to API.

I see plenty of praise here for Claude over GPT4.o in writing code but it failed for me.

To add to the collective anecdata, here Gpt 4.o does fine and Claude invents packages that don’t exist:

Question:

“Write code in Swift to use RAG and LLMs to allow users to ask questions about a document collection.

Let’s use services to get the app completed quickly.

What do you think about using Cohere for the text embedding model, and Pinecone for the vector db?”

Output (packages don’t exist):

import Cohere

import PineconeSwift

class RAGService {

private let cohere: CohereAPI

private let pinecone: Pinecone

What I understand is that it's GPT 6 that just went into training, and that GPT 5 is complete and being delayed until after the U.S. election.

Hey cool, it's available in Sweden!

After validating my email and phone number the login failed though...

This is the third time Anthropic releases something interesting and I try to login to claude.ai and get banned by an "automatic review".

Thankfully they are not Google, if you follow the appeal instructions they actually un-ban you after a few days. Then I don't want to try it anymore.

Granted, I don't use it frequently, but so far this automatic ban is awful.

> Lack of conversation sharing... [there is] no way to even print the conversation because it cuts off on the browser (tested on Firefox).

Until they make conversations shareable, in the meantime you can print the whole page in Chrome by:

- going to Developer Tools (Ctrl + Shift + I)

- opening the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P)

- searching for 'screenshot'

- selecting Capture full size screenshot

Wow claude just works in Belgium as well now! Last time i tried it was not the case.

I tried some questions/conversation about .bat files and UNC paths and gave solutions and was able to explain them with much detail, without looking up anything on the web.

When asking for URLs, it explained those are not inside the model and gave good hints on how to search the web for it (Microsoft dev network etc).

Impressed!
