I use both Claude and ChatGPT/GPT-4o a lot. Claude, the model, definitely is 'better' than GPT-4o. But OpenAI provides a much more capable app in ChatGPT and an easier development platform. I would absolutely choose to use Claude as my model with ChatGPT if that happened (yes, I know it won't). ChatGPT as an app is just so far ahead: code interpreter, web search/fetch, fluid voice interaction, Custom GPTs, image gene…

Are there any good 3rd-party native frontend apps for Claude (on MacOS)? I mean something like ChatGPTs app, not an editor. I guess one option would be to just run Claude iPad app on MacOS.

Open-WebUI doesn't support Claude natively (only through a series of hacks) but it is absolutely "THE" go-to for a ChatGPT Pro like experience (it is slightly better).

You mean waste a few billion on buying a company that couldn't compete with the market anymore because the iphone made "even an idiot should be able to use this thing, and it should be able to do pretty much everything" a baseline expectation with an OS/software experience to match? Nokia failed Nokia, and then Microsoft gave it a shot. And they also couldn't make it work. (sure, that glosses over the whole Elop saga…

I can see why people would think that, but Microsoft did not buy Nokia.

They did bought the (then) richer half of the company. The other is now trying to get out of the rot.

If you're willing to settle for a client-side only web frontend (i.e. talks directly with APIs of the models you use), TypingMind would work. It's paid, but it's good (see [0]), and I guess you could always go for the self-hosted version and wrap it in an Electron app - it's what most "native" apps are these days anyway (and LLM frontends in particular).

This is pretty exciting. I'm a copilot user at work, but also have access to Claude. I'm more inclined to use Claude for difficult coding problems or to review my work as I've just grown more confident in its abilities over the last several months.

Which app are you talking about here?

I too use Claude more frequently than OpenAi GPT4o. I think this is a two fold move for MS and I like it. Claude being more accurate / efficient for me says it's likely they see the same thing, win number 1. The second is with all the OpenAI drama MS has started to distance themselves over a souring relationship (allegedly). If so, this could be a smart move away tactfully. Either way, Claude is great so this is a ne…

I agree, this was a tactical move designed to give them leverage over OpenAI.

I wonder if behind the choice of calling the human user "mona" there's an Italian XD https://i.imgur.com/z01xgfl.png

It's Mona Lisa the Octocat: https://github.com/monatheoctocat

Hah, TIL. https://cameronmcefee.com/work/the-octocat/

Yeah, Claude consistently impresses me. A commenter on another thread mentioned it but it’s very similar to how search felt in the early 2000s. I ask it a question and get my answer. Sometimes it’s a little (or a lot) wrong or outdated, but at least I get something to tinker with.

I recently tried to ask these tools for help with using a popular library, and both GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet gave highly misleading and unusable suggestions. They consistently hallucinated APIs that didn't exist, and would repeat the same wrong answers, ignoring my previous instructions. I spent upwards of 30 minutes repeating "now I get this error" to try to coax them in the right direction, but always ending up…

Yeah there is a big disconnect between the devs caught up in the hype and the devs who aren't.

A lot of the devs in my office using Claude/gpt are convinced they are so much more productive but they aren't actually producing features or bug fixes any faster.

I think they are just excited about a novel new way to write code.

That’s a strange usage of the word “cuts”. I thought GitHub terminated the deals with Google and Anthropic. It would be better if the title were GitHub signs AI deals instead of cuts.
