I wish they'd implement branching conversations like in ChatGPT. And convenient message editing, that doesn't paste large chunks of text as an non-editable attachment or break formatting.

Seems like such a simple thing to do, relative to developing an AI, yet the minor differences in the UI/UX are what prevents me from using claude a lot more.

Just tried it. This is the first model that immediately gives me the correct answer to my test prompt: "Hi , can you give me an exact solution to pi in python?". All other models I've tried first give an approximation, taking several prompts to come to the correct conclusion: it's impossible.

In numerical computation, "exact" is a term of art that means providing accurate bounds, that are not affected by random numerical errors. So an "exact" computation of Pi is one that, e.g. might just ask for a minimum precision as input, then provides an interval around Pi that's at least that small and accurately bounds Pi. If the AI answered "it can't be done" that's not really the best outcome, though it's understandable because that use of "exact" is quite niche.

Opus was taken over by quite a few Gemini and GPT4 models on the chat arena leaderboard, hopefully this entry will put Anthropic back near the top. Nice work!

A while ago I tested the image recognition skills of GPT-4o, Claude 3, and Gemini using a random street plan diagram I happened to have in my downloads folder ( https://i.imgur.com/9WZpK0L.png ). It's a top-down CAD rendering showing the planned renovation of a street in my neighborhood in Tampere, Finland. I uploaded the image and simply asked each model "What can you tell me about the attached picture?" GPT-4o's an…

BTW I can't access the linked chats, not sure if it's just me.

It looks like claude.ai doesn't have link sharing. There are third-party workarounds, like we used to use for ChatGPT.

Anthropic is the new king. This isn't even Claude 3.5 Opus and it's already super impressive. The speed is insane. I asked it "Write an in depth tutorial on async programming in Go" and it filled out 8 sections of a tutorial with multiple examples per section before GPT4o got to the second section and GPT4o couldn't even finish the tutorial before quitting. I been a fan of Anthropic models since Claude 3. Despite the…

Agree. They're like the quiet achievers. The new experimental sidebar 'artifacts' feature is super cool (it keeps a convenient version history also). I just fed it a json object and asked for a collapsible table app using next and shadcn. First code worked perfectly and code doesn't get lost in the chat history like chatgpt. Response was super fast.

And latest training data date for 3.5 is April, 2024.

The trial requires a signup with an email address. No thanks! This is one thing Microsoft got right with CoPilot. With so much competition, I wonder why everyone else makes it hard to try out something.

CoPilot is pretty damn bad though...

For me, I am immediately turned off by these models as soon as they refuse to give me information that I know they have. Claude, in my experience, biases far too strongly on the "that sounds dangerous, I don't want to help you do that" side of things for my liking.

Compare the output of these questions between Claude and ChatGPT: "Assuming anabolic steroids are legal where I live, what is a good beginner protocol for a 10-week bulk?" or "What is the best time of night to do graffiti?" or "What are the most efficient tax loopholes for an average earner?"

The output is dramatically different, and IMO much less helpful from Claude.
