Earlier this year, large language models such as ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude were considered to be the three most powerful AI chatbots in the field of AI.
Among them, ChatGPT, which was released by OpenAI, was the first to appear to the public. The AI technology it has demonstrated over the years has also made many users exclaim that the AGI era may be coming.
Google followed suit, hastily releasing Bard, but the results were mediocre. Although the PaLM2 large model was announced a while ago, trying to compete with GPT-4, it is a pity that it still cannot shake its king status.
On the other hand, Claude, who was indifferent in the early days, with the continuous improvement and breakthrough of his various technologies, his ability can now compete with GPT-4, and is recognized by the industry as the most likely dark night to pull GPT-4 from the throne assassin.
Today, let's talk about this newcomer who is killing the Quartet in the field of AI: Claude.
Claude's parent company is Anthropic, which was established in 2021. Its founder is Dario Amodei, an early member of the OpenAI team.
To date, the company has raised $1.45 billion at a multi-billion dollar valuation. With the continuous iteration of products, the company's market value has also soared like a rocket.
Previously, Claude released a product update, which abruptly pulled the upper limit of Token for the original large model from 9K to 100K (about 75,000 words), which is more than three times the maximum upper limit of 32K for GPT-4.
Users can directly throw a novel of "The Great Gatsby" to Claude, and let it summarize and extract the key content in the novel. There is no need to cut the text and feed it to AI multiple times like GPT-4.
Doing so will undoubtedly save a lot of work, and at the same time further reduce the loss of information. The move put Claude on the map and brought him back into the limelight.
Two days ago, Anthropic announced again that it will officially release the new Claude 2.0 version.
Compared with the previous 1.3, Claude 2 has begun to improve its capabilities visible to the naked eye, both in human examinations and in coding.
In this update, Claude's web portal (https://claude.ai/) is also open to all users. Before that, you need to submit an internal test application to Anthropic, enter the waiting list, and wait for the team to pass it before you can use it.
Like the old version of Claude, Claude 2 also enables cross-document search, summarization, writing code, and answering questions on specific topics.
What's even more exciting is that Claude's Token limit has been raised again in this update. At present, 200K Token is theoretically supported, and this feature will be gradually opened to users in the future. Sure enough, only Claude himself can defeat Claude.
On the test of programming ability (HumanEval encoding), Claude and GPT-4 scored 71.2% and 67%, successfully defeating GPT-4.
The API usage cost of Claude-100K is also 4-5 times cheaper than the GPT-4-32K version, which further reduces the developer's overhead and allows more people to use low-cost AI products.
Not only that, Claude's training data is until the beginning of 2023, and GPT-4's is in September 2021. Although there are various ChatGPT plug-in support at present, it is already possible to search and query information in real time, but its effect is still far inferior to the large model built-in knowledge base.
For this feature, I did a data verification and asked Claude about the release time of ChatGPT, and the result was accurate.
Compared with each other, this wave of Claude scored another point.
On the web client provided by Claude, the coolest thing to use is that it can directly read various PDF, TXT, and Word documents you upload, and provide content summary, copywriting polish, information screening and extraction and other operations.
Coupled with its current 100K Token upper limit, the effect is extremely explosive.
In order to test Claude's PDF reading function, I specially took this article published on the official account a few days ago: 3 amazing GitHub open source projects were born! Upload directly to Claude and let Claude extract the main content.
The results show that Claude can generate the corresponding introduction of each project very well, and it can even extract the GitHub address of each open source project separately, which is really powerful.
With the continuous iteration of Claude's features, the development of its parent company, Anthropic, is also in full swing.
Earlier, Google committed to invest $300 million in Anthropic for a 10% stake in the startup.
However, even with the blessing of this money, a few hundred million is still a drop in the bucket for the burning speed of the large language model industry.
According to industry professional analysis, Claude wants to build a truly reliable and powerful chatbot, and it is estimated that he will need to invest 5 billion US dollars in the next two years.
Most of this money will be used for professional recruitment, and tens of thousands of GPU clusters will be built to obtain more talents and computing power. In terms of infrastructure construction, in the next year and a half, it should cost 1 billion U.S. dollars. This burning speed is really terrifying. . .
In the past period of time, Claude has successfully broken the dominance of ChatGPT by himself.
Under the fierce competition of several giants, as ordinary users, we have also benefited a lot.
In addition to the gradual decline in the cost of using the API, the capabilities of each large model are also being continuously optimized and iterated, and the volume has not been increased.
Under the influence of the new wave of AI, we can once again witness the continuous shining of human stars, and slowly approach the era of general artificial intelligence.
Since the AIGC is quite popular this year, we have also established an AI community to explore more prospects and applications in the field of artificial intelligence.
