Another naming disaster! Opus is better than sonnet? And sonnet is better than haiku? Perhaps this makes sense to people familiar with sonnets and haikus and opus....es? Nonsensical to me! I know everyone loves to hate on Google, but at least pro and ultra have a sort of sense of level of sophistication.

I think the intention was more "bigger" than better - but opus is an odd choice. haiku>sonnet>ballad maybe? haiku>sonnet>epic?

> epic

dang; missed opportunity.

The APPS benchmark result of Claude 3 Opus at 70.2% indicates it might be quite useful for coding. The dataset measures the ability to convert problem descriptions to Python code. The average length of a problem is nearly 300 words. Interestingly, no other top models have published results on this benchmark.

(full disclosure, I work at Anthropic) Opus has definitely been writing a lot of my code at work recently :)

Do y'all have an explanation for why Haiku outperforms Sonnet for code?

I use Claude2 for medical queries and it far surpasses everything from any other LLM. Idk if it’s because it’s less neutered/censored but it isn’t even close

I don't put a lot of stock on evals. many of the models claiming gpt-4 like benchmark scores feel a lot worse for any of my use-cases. Anyone got any sample output? Claude isn't available in EU yet, else i'd try it myself. :(

There are two different "available in these regions" URLs.

The one for chat: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-ai-locations

The one for API: https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries

The latter has Norway in it, while the former does not. One wonders why.

“Claude 3 gets ~60% accuracy on GPQA. It's hard for me to understate how hard these questions are—literal PhDs (in different domains from the questions) [spending over 30 minutes] with access to the internet get 34%. PhDs in the same domain (also with internet access!) get 65% - 75% accuracy.” — David Rein, first author of the GPQA Benchmark.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

FWIW the use case you're describing is very often achievable with RAG. Embedding models are deterministic, so while you're still limited by the often-nondeterministic nature of the LLM, in practice you can usually get the same answer for the same input. And it's substantially cheaper to do.

With 1M tokens, if snapshotting the LLM state is cheap, it would beat out-of-the-box nearly all RAG setups, except the ones dealing with large datasets. 1M tokens is a lot of docs.

Yeah, but latency is still a factor here. Any follow-up question requires re-scanning the whole context, which often takes a long time. IIRC when Google showed their demos for this use case each request took over 1 minute for ~650k tokens.

I really wanted to read the questions, but they make it hard because they don't want the plaintext to be visible on the internet. Below is a link toa python script I wrote, that downloads the password protected zip and creates a decently formatted html document with all the questions and answers. Should only require python3. Pipe the output to a file of your choice.

It seems like the best way of figuring out how strong a new model is, is to look at the benchmarks published by a 3rd competitor.

Want to know how well the new Google model performs compared to GPT-4? Look at the Claude benchmark table.

Could anyone recommend an open-source tool capable of simultaneously sending the same prompt to various language models like GPT-4, Gemini, and Claude, and displaying their responses side by side for comparison? I tried chathub in the past, but they decided to not release any more source as of now.
