CLAUDE.AI VERSUS CHATGPT

Last week, Claude.ai was updated and released to the world. It's the first real competitor to GPT-4 to date. I'm sure that will change 😉as this AI world continues to evolve!

After doing a lot of testing and research...here are my thoughts:

SPEED

Claude 2 appears to be faster than GPT-4 in generating responses based on early user testing. Its architecture may be optimized for speed.

PRICING

Claude 2 is significantly cheaper to use than GPT-4, with prompt tokens costing $0.011 per 1 million vs. $60 per 1 million for GPT-4. This makes Claude 2 the clear winner on pricing.

SECURITY

Both models have undergone security reviews, but GPT-4 may have a slight edge as OpenAI has more resources to audit for vulnerabilities. However, this is difficult to definitively compare.

ACCURACY OF RESPONSE

For certain tasks like legal writing and math problems, Claude 2 matches or exceeds GPT-4. But GPT-4 still appears stronger for general natural language processing accuracy.

FEATURES

GPT-4 has more features like image processing and multimodal inputs. Claude 2 does not currently have these capabilities.

COMEDY

Neither model appears specifically optimized for humor generation BUT based on my testing, I think Claude 2 has a better sense of humor.

DATA HANDLING - THIS IS A BIGGEE!

Claude 2 can handle significantly larger context at 100,000 tokens versus 8,192 for GPT-4. This allows it to process more data at once.

AVAILABILITY

GPT-4 access is limited to paying customers, while Claude 2 is publicly available. Claude 2 wins for availability. BUT, Claude 2 is only available in US and UK as of now.

CONSTITUTIONAL AI

Claude 2 was built with Constitutional AI for improved ethics. GPT-4 does not have this.

MATHMATICAL CALCULATIONS

In tests, Claude 2 matched or exceeded GPT-4 on math assessments. It appears stronger for mathematical reasoning.

FACTUALY ACCURACY

Neither model has high factual accuracy without being prompted to focus on truthfulness. GPT-4 may be slightly better.

CODE COMPREHENSION/GENERATION

Claude 2 scores very high on code generation tests, much higher than GPT-4. It is superior for coding applications.

In summary, Claude 2 shines for specific applications like legal, mathematical, and coding tasks, while being much more affordable. GPT-4 still beats it for general conversational ability and open domain question answering. However, Claude 2's focus on safety, low cost, and large context handling make it a formidable challenger to GPT-4's capabilities.
