There’s not much competition in the AI chatbot market as far as first-party developers. The main players in the game are Google with Bard and OpenAI with ChatGPT. However, it seems that there’s another chatbot looking to take the crown. The chatbot is called Calude Pro, and it looks to bring some serious competition.
As stated before, there are two main players in the chatbot game (sure, there are a ton of other chatbots out there, but the majority of them are just using ChatGPT like Bing AI and Snapchat My AI). These two companies have been in a bit of an AI fight, but Google seems to be winning it for the time being.
There’s a new AI chatbot called Claude Pro
Right now, ChatGPT seems to be the most popular chatbot on the market, as it’s the bot that both defined a generation and broke the internet. However, more companies are coming forward with their own language models. Anthropic, the creator of Claude, is looking to take on ChatGPT- rather, it’s looking to provide a better subscription service than ChatGPT+.
Claude Pro does the same essential functions that you see with other chatbots. It can generate multiple forms of text like emails, poems, reports, summaries, etc., and it does so with its own flair.
Just like OpenAI, Anthropic has a more premium version of its chatbot, and this one is called Claude Pro. It brings some notable features over the standard Cluade chatbot. However, there’s one feature that puts it over ChatGPT.
Claude Pro accepts up to 100,00 tokens. Tokens are fragments of words that the chatbot can process. GPT-4 can process up to 8,000 tokens at once, which equates to a few thousand words. In the case of Claude Pro, it can process up to about 75,000 words at once.
This means that the chatbot can process extremely lengthy documents at once. If you need the chatbot to summarize a short story or even a short novel, you can.
While this is the case, it seems that Claude still suffers in a critical area, hallucinations. This is when a chatbot basically makes up information that’s not present. Researcher Simon Willison told Ars Technica that he experienced hallucinations with Claude more than with ChatGPT. That’s one thing that will need to be fixed.
There was also another instance when the chatbot erased an entire section of a transcript that he was fixing up because the conversation moved on to talking about bomb threads.
This means that Anthropic is working on the same fundamental issues with AI that other companies are working on. We’ll need to see how this company is able to differentiate itself from OpenAI and take the AI crown.
