ANTHROPIC

Anthropic's Claude 3 Dethrones GPT-4 as Users' Favorite AI Chatbot 🔥

Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus has knocked OpenAI's GPT-4 off its pedestal as the highest user-rated large language model on the Chatbot Arena leaderboard.

Details:

  • In contrast to other forms of benchmarking for AI models, the LMSYS Chatbot Arena relies on human votes. People blind-rank the output of two different models to the same prompt.

  • This is the first time since GPT-4's release around a year ago that another model has outperformed it in user ratings.

  • Impressively, Anthropic's much cheaper Haiku model also nearly matched GPT-4's ratings.

These are great news for Anthropic. However, OpenAI is expected to counter with a new flagship model rumored to be released soon. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that his company intends to launch an "amazing" AI model this year.
