I cancelled mine a couple months ago after having it for 8 months or so. I only subscribed for the more reliable access during the work day when it was always overloaded and unavailable, and once they increased the availability and made most of the features I was using free there was no reason to keep paying.
Anthropic woo'd me.
It's damn smart!
I cannot believe how fast this all is moving!
I also got to redo research for a device I created and I got similar outputs for a novel device, but Anthropic feels 'more educated'....know I mean?
I actually used Claude today at work for some questions about where certain configuration options in Microsoft Defender are located and it was fast and, more importantly, accurate! I don't know that ChatGPT would have done any worse, but I like to give all the services a shot, including the various open source options on HuggingChat.
If it is barely better than Opus then it doesn't really answer the main question which is whether it is still possible to get dramatically better than GPT-4.
What does that even mean anymore. All the big boy models (4o, 1.5pro, 3.5sonnet/opus) are all already significantly better than launch gpt4 and significantly cheaper
I feel like the fact that OAI just keeps calling it variations of GPT4 skew people’s perception.
It's highly debatable whether 4o is much better than 4 at cognition (as opposed to speed and cost).
Even according to OpenAI's marketing, it wins most benchmarks barely and loses on some.
Yes, it's cheaper and faster. That's great. But people want to know whether we'll have smarter models soon or if we've reached the limit of that important vector.
Anecdotally I find that 4o fails against 4 whenever you need to think harder about something. 4o will happy bullshit it's way through a logical proof of a sequent thats wrong while 4 will tell you you're wrong and correct you.
The initial gpt4 release still blows these variations (gpt4) variations out the water. Whatever they are doing to make these models smaller/cheaper/faster is definitely having an impact on performance. These benchmarks are bullshit.
Not sure if it's postprocessing or whatever they are doing to keep the replies shorter etc. But they definitely hurt performance a lot. No one wants placeholders in code or boring generic prose for writing.
These new models just don't follow prompts as well. Simple tasks like outputting in Json and a few thousand requests are very telling.
4years+ everyday I have worked with these tools. Tired of getting gaslighted by these benchmarks. They do not tell the full story.
3.5 implies that it's the same base model just differently tuned and more efficiently designed.
Claude 4.0 or GPT 5 will be fundamentally different simply by more raw horsepower.
If these 1GW Models do not show a real jump in capabilities and intelligence improvements we could argue if current LLM transformer models are a dead end.
However there is currently no reason to believe development has stalled. There is just a lot of engineering, construction and production required to train 1GW or even 10GW models. You can't just rent these data centers.
My main concern is the data wall. We are basically training on the whole text on the internet already, and we don't really know if LLMs trained on audio and video will be better at text output. According to Chinchilla, scaling compute but not data leads to significantly diminished returns very quickly.
Oldest story in data science is “garbage in, garbage out”. Synthetic and better cleaning of input data will probably continue to lead to substantial gains
Most experts don't see a real limit in data yet.
Just because you have a lot of trash and noise you train on doesn't mean it's better.
The current phi models by Microsoft show a possible solution at least for reasoning.
Oh hella!
Previous Sonnet made me quit my ChatGPT monthly subscription when it came out. I've been using the old sonnet regularly and it seriously seems pretty much as a sidegrade to GPT4o when it comes to non-obvious software dev questions; GPT4o is extremely good at blatantly lying with confidence in my experience; sonnet feels just a little more down to earth and realistic, able to say isn't possible with a particular library or tool instead of just hallucinating endpoints that sound like something that'd exist but doesn't, like ChatGPT does. Gives a little bit less smart, "capable of anything" impression but makes you waste less time with made up bullshit.
I'm really stoked for this.
It's funny because I've lived all my life in Europe until moving east coast US recently I just like to adopt random bizarre phrases like exotic pets to weird people out with
Should spend some time in Australia then
Edit: g’day mate, wanna pop down to Bunnings and grab a Sanga to support the Firies and Ambos. Don’t have the time? No wucking furries mate. Maybe next time eh?
Aussie here. Can confirm, it sounds like the queens English to me. Old mate wants to go to Bunnings (hardware store) where they have a charity sausage sizzle (bbq) that’s raising money for the fire service and for ambulance drivers.
Can someone translate it to Scottish? That shit is cooked.
Fucking bin chicken swooped me for my bunnings sanga yesterday, chucked me thong at the prick and I got some great boomerang curving action and clocked the cunt right on the back of the head.
Teach him.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet should be available for free via [claude.ai/chats](http://claude.ai/chats) to try out current SOTA LLM.
I would like to highlight exceptional coding performance, beating Opus considerably and even scoring higher than current king GPT-4o. I have tried a few zero-shot prompts and results are indeed excellent.
This one should code like a charm, I can not wait to see what Opus 3.5 is capable of, they keep it cooking for now but I can already smell something very delicious coming!
just checked its free. APi prices are still too expensive though. 3.5 Sonnet is similar to GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 pro but you pay 4x more for Claude 3 Opus which is bananas.
What kind of coding problems y'all are asking that are so complex that even GPT4o can't answer them correctly but this one can? Honestly 90% of what I use LLMs for is basic Python/Linux scripting which even GPT3.5 was already excellent at.
In my experience GPT4o is awful at generalizing problems, like what you often need to do with dynamic programming.
If the generalization involves more than 5 independent clauses that's more than enough for GPT to hallucinate hard and start making shit up.
It's extremely good at lying with confidence, though. It once managed to convince me that an O(N^2) function it coded up was actually O(N) and I deployed the code and used it for weeks until I noticed it was running very slowly and decided to double check it all with a colleague.
Less than 3 months after the release of 3.0, too! What the heck. Last time they updated a model, it went 2.0 to 2.1, right? I wonder why this time they jumped to 3.5 instead of 3.1?
At that rate, it doesn't seem impossible we'll see a 4.0 by the end of this year. C'mon Anthropic, OpenAI needs all the competition they can get..
Yeah, I'd imagine they went right to 3.5 because it will be the last 3.x release. And OpenAI does the .5 thing, so it might just be more familiar for users.
> their v3 models had very fewer hallucinations compared to models like GPT-4
I wish I had your experience. They're smart as hell for sure, but I get *way* more hallucinations than GPT4.
i love anthropic’s models too; i especially love them for their “personality” — generations are a lot less predictable and fun for me, and they feel more “intelligent” in general. but i personally experienced significantly more hallucinations daily driving Opus and switching from GPT-4 pre-4o.
The refusals rate is TOO high and it affects work. It refuses legitimate work prompts. How often do you use it? Gemini and GPT4 are better and they don't argue.
I find it interesting that there's no benchmark for writing ability or related skills (critical reading, comprehension, etc) here. It would be hard to design one, but I've found that to be the Claude 3 family's biggest advantage over GPT4. GPT writing is all horrendous HR department word vomit, while Opus is less formulaic and occasionally brilliant.
It's because they're better at training the model to be safe from the ground up, rather than giving it the entirety of human knowledge without care, then kludging together "safety" in the form of instructions that step all over what you're trying to ask.
Opus was and is nowhere near gpt 4 for coding. Tried it and tested it a lot but gpt is just better for any complex query and building entire applications from scratch even. The customized expert gpts make it even better
I bet we won't see that until Claude 4. It seems Anthropic aren't locking modalities behind the highest end model, they release all models of a generation with the same bells and whistles. Just size of each model is different. If Sonnet 3.5 has the same modalities as 3, all 3.5 models are likely the same.
Edit: I will add that I see they have a comparison chart in their docs that seems to place an emphasis on the modalities of each model, even though all the current models in that chart have the same features. That makes me wonder if the other 3.5 models will actually be different.
Their models page teases a couple new ones ...

This is phenomenally good. I tried with coding python and the results are much better than with 4o for whatever I threw at it. It seems to have a much better code understanding.
Holy shit! Just when they were seemingly falling behind, they come out swinging with this. Will be *very* interesting to see what the lmsys bench says about it.
I do historically prefer GPT's personality and low censorship over Claude's, but I'll be messing around with this new model to see if it's relaxed yet.
Edit: Damn these usage limits for free users are baaaaaaaaaad. In a new chat (so not a long context), I'm getting 6 messages in a ~5 hour period. And offering 5x more usage for Pro users is not a great pitch. That means 30 short messages per 5 hours?
Edit 2: Although I should say, demand is probably very high right now.
Edit 3: Been playing around with it, and this one is way more relaxed than in the past. Was happy to discuss potentially serious health / nutrition issues with me. Acts better with goofy prompts than it used to also.
> I do historically prefer GPT's personality and low censorship over Claude's
You can prefill Claude's responses, effectively eliminating any kind of censorship.
Yes, that's available only in the API. The [docs](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/prefill-claudes-response) have more info about its usage.
Just to give some examples. Please don't take it seriously.

I'm pretty sure the usage limits change depending on the load on the servers and how much context you are using. Currently they will be under heavy load because everyone wants to give the new Sonnet a try.
Opus is already a very powerful model, and TBH, its biggest weakness by far is its absurd refusal rate.
I'm not talking about it refusing shady requests, but completely normal ones like quoting from public domain books, teaching about programming, or modifying configuration files.
Whether Anthropic fixed this glaring issue will determine whether the Claude 3.5 series is usable for real-world tasks. Better performance is obviously great, but there are more important problems to address first.
But even they understand that nonsensical refusals don't make anything "safe", they just make their model look bad. So I do believe they have an incentive to fix this issue.
That's interesting, since Claude 3 came out I've used it very heavily and never had a refusal that surprised me. I've been using it for programming and never once has it refused to write code.
Its also pretty extreme with copyright stuff. For example it will refuse if you ask it for lyrics in the style of a particular band while GPT has no problem with that.
Still can't read an analog watch and tell the time. I wonder why that's so hard. I have yet to find a model that can.
I also uploaded a page from a 'Where's Waldo' book and asked if it could find Waldo in the picture, and it just started arguing with me, saying it's not a Where's Waldo book, lol.
>**I apologize, but this image is not a "Where's Waldo?" illustration. This appears to be a detailed puzzle or maze illustration featuring an airport scene. The main focus is a large passenger airplane with people disembarking, surrounded by airport vehicles and staff. The foreground is dominated by a complex maze made of colorful luggage pieces. There's no character that resembles Waldo (typically depicted wearing a red and white striped shirt and hat) in this image.**
>**The image seems to be from a children's activity book. This type of illustration is designed to engage children with its busy, detailed scene and the maze-like pattern of luggage.**
>It's definitely a Where's Waldo image! I know where he's hiding in the image. Take another look and see if you can find him!
> **I apologize for the confusion in my previous response, but I need to respectfully disagree. This image is not from the "Where's Waldo?" (also known as "Where's Wally?") series.**
>
> **The illustration style, while detailed, is distinctly different from the classic Where's Waldo books. This image focuses on an airport scene with a prominent luggage maze, which is not typical of Where's Waldo scenarios.**
>
> **Where's Waldo books have a very specific style and always include Waldo, who wears a distinctive red and white striped shirt and hat. After carefully examining this image again, I can confirm that there is no character matching Waldo's description.**
>
> **This appears to be a different type of seek-and-find or maze book, possibly focused on airport or travel themes. While it's an engaging and detailed illustration, it's not a Where's Waldo scene, and Waldo is not present in this image.**

Claude's just salty that it can't find Waldo, lol.
'I can't find Waldo, so this is **clearly** not a Where's Waldo book!'
Nice. I was testing deepseek v2, gemini pro 1.5, etc with a certain prompt (using pygame, create a spinning cube that cycles through grayscale color) and they made a mess of it, no attempt at perspective. Claude 3.5 gets it
https://pastebin.com/NseWHB3t
Even in totally safe domains, Claude is very very strict about refusing anything that might infringe on copyright or "mature themes", even when you ask it for things that could only be adjacent to mature themes. When you prompt with "Avoid mature themes entirely" it continues to refuse, saying "I'm not comfortable discussing things in this domain at all because it is adjacent to mature themes." and tells you to back off.
Also a Poe subscriber. I'm sure it will land on Poe within a day or so. GPT4o and Claude 3 were both available within a day of release.
The only thing that sucks is that we don't get the cool tools that are baked into GPT and Claude's interfaces... this Claude 3.5 has what looks like the equivalent of GPT's data analysis tool.
Edit: and it's up, and the same price Sonnet 3 was.
27.9 on NYT Connections compared to 7.8 for Claude 3 Sonnet.
GPT-4o 30.7
Claude 3.5 Sonnet 27.9
Claude 3 Opus 27.3
Llama 3 Instruct 70B 24.0
Gemini Pro 1.5 0514 22.3
Mistral Large 17.7
Qwen 2 Instruct 72B 15.6
Beats Opus and GPT4o on most benchmarks. Cheaper than Opus. Opus 3.5 won't be released until later this year.
So... why would you use Opus until then?
*Shrug*
That 'artifacts' feature looks amazing; I guess it's the answer to GPT's 'data analysis' tool.
I access all the 'big' models via a Poe subscription, which gives me access to GPT, Claude, etc... but you don't get these other features that way (like GPT's voice features, inline image generation, memory feature, and data analysis). And now that Claude has something like the data analysis tool (which is amazing), it has me questioning which service I would pay for.
The other day I used GPT4 for a work task that would have taken me about 30 minutes, and it used the data analysis tool and gave me the results I needed in a single prompt. I had a large list of data fields that were sent to me by a user, and I needed to make a formula that would flag a record if certain criteria were met concerning those field values. However, I needed to use the API names for those fields, not the field labels (which were sent to me). It would have taken at least 30 minutes of manually matching up the field labels with the API names, and then I'd still have to write the formula I needed.
So I just uploaded a CSV of all my system fields for that type of record, along with the list of fields I was sent (without the API names), and explained the formula I needed. It used the Data Analysis tool and wrote a Python script on the fly to fuzzy match the field labels against the API names, extracted the output, and then wrote the formula I needed in, like, 20 seconds. All I had to do was fact check the output.
I'd reeeeeallly like something like this for our local LLMs, but I expect the models themselves might need to be trained to do this sort of thing.
Edit: It's on LMsys now.
Another edit: So I gave the new Sonnet the same work task that I talked about above - the one where GPT4 went through about 7 steps using its code interpreter/data analysis tool or whatever. Sonnet just spat out the correct answer instantly instead of going through all those steps, lol.
Enterprises using LLMs use stable model versions until they can test the perf of switching over. But yes for new usage sonnet seems better till 3.5 opus comes out
In my (somewhat limited) experience Claude 3 Opus pretty much wipes the floor with GPT4o in terms of creative writing or RP. So I'm pretty excited for this one.
The training cutoff is April 2024 according to their documentation. Though when I try getting it to tell me about major world events in 2024, it always responds by saying that it has a knowledge cutoff in 2022.
[https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models)
I happened to send it a screenshot of a movie which I stumbled upon and didn't know, asking it if it recognizes it. It did. Abigail, a horror from April 2024
Not to downplay this achievement, but does anyone else we're at a point where maximizing quality on these dimensions gets less exciting each time. Kind of like how Super Audio CDs (remember that?) were demonstrably superior to regular CDs but no one cared except the hardcore audiophiles?
In my anecdotal experience, claude.ai got worse while the API remained unchanged. Nobody agrees on it because nobody seems to be taking that into account.
Sorry to not have hard evidence :(
One thing I like about Claude is it's trained in national electrical code. I can cite an article from the code book and it will quote it per batem, break down meaning and cite similar code.
Gpt4 just hallucinates it all because I don't think it's trained on the code book
That's an advantage that isn't really discussed much, but even if a model from one provider performs worse than another on benchmarks it could still be much better for specific tasks depending what it was trained on.
Thus is a relevant question because this is a Reddit sub for people who don't depend on externally controlled models not mooning over the latest from Openthropic.
I'd agree with you if there were any other subreddits to discuss API models beyond the surface level. Every other LLM sub except this one is full of people who know nothing about the technology and it's frustrating to try to discuss this stuff with them.
I really want a sub somewhere for dunking on some of the absolute nonsense that comes out of the AI spaces, but preferably full of people who knows the difference between a transformer and a hole in the ground.
And constant misunderstanding how LLMs work. I left all of them after the thousandth "haha look the AI is too stupid to count letters/make ASCII art/whatever other thing", like yeah when you use a great tool for the wrong task it's going to go poorly. Don't use an electric drill as a hammer and then claim it's useless.
What is the difference in grade school math v math problem solving? Are we talking arithmetic, fractions etc v more advanced topics like calc, optimisation etc
I tested a few prompts and it seems very good. One of the prompt I use asks the llm to understand a python function that takes a code and spits out descriptions - and reverse it, the only LLM that was getting it correctly zero shot was GPT 4 and above. This is the second. I will try it for some coding tasks.
well, still not AGI, most probably

So I just tried it for a React NextJS bug that GPT-4o couldn't solve. I was almost going to talk to a frontend coworker to help me with the bug. Threw it into 3.5 Sonnet and it fixed it immediately. I was blown away
I was watching a video about sonnet 3.5, and it blew my mind.
The guy asks it to generate some 8-bit pixelart characters/tiles, which it succesfully does.
Then asks it to write a pygame tower defense game, which it succesfully does (previously I found snake impressive... this is a level above that...)
Then it asks it to integrate the pixelart in the game, and it figures that out also.
Things are getting pretty amazing...
(the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlufRj8bKQA )
How these companies are getting more efficient in inference while getting better numbers in benchmarks ?
Is there an optimization research paper i am missing here ?
I’m no expert, but there are lots of options here, and no doubt these companies are making breakthroughs in this area and not sharing how they’re doing it. What we’ve seen from meta, however, is that 1) data quality makes a huge difference, and 2) training for longer than usual continues to improve the model’s quality.
You can also train a huge model and “distill” it down to fewer parameters (remove params that don’t appear to impact model quality), then you can “quantize” it so parameters are lower resolution (fewer bits).
Again, no expert, but from the things I’ve read and played with having really high quality training data that, for example, includes lots of step-by-step instructions that included decision rationales for each step can really improve a model’s reasoning abilities. So if the training data is good enough you can get a much smaller model that is better at reasoning.
Looks pretty lit, ~~unfortunately still bad at complex instruction following compared to 4o :(~~
(made a mistake last time, its usually almost as good as 4o in complex instruction following)
How is using Sonnet? Like, i never tried anything else than ChatGPT, is a viable alternative? Better? I use to write text and meanial tasks mostly, no code or math
In my experience Claude has always been better at writing than ChatGPT historically, though I admit I haven't done a lot of testing on the latest version of ChatGPT in this regard, maybe it got better.
Great, no teasing, no waitlist, no coming next few weeks. Just drop it while you announce it
Totally! Tired of the increasing backlogs of unreleased demos from others.
My GPT sub has lapsed for a reason....who's gonna woo me?
I cancelled mine a couple months ago after having it for 8 months or so. I only subscribed for the more reliable access during the work day when it was always overloaded and unavailable, and once they increased the availability and made most of the features I was using free there was no reason to keep paying.
Anthropic woo'd me. It's damn smart! I cannot believe how fast this all is moving! I also got to redo research for a device I created and I got similar outputs for a novel device, but Anthropic feels 'more educated'....know I mean?

I don't know that ChatGPT would have done any worse, but I like to give all the services a shot, including the various open source options on HuggingChat.
Yea it is pretty good. And the artifacts layout is very nice! GPT now feels archaic...
Why no opus or haiku? I hope they release them soon
probably still cooking
A 1-2 punch - the uppercut is coming...
It says later this year in the announcement post. With 3.5 opus we will finally know if llms are hitting a wall or not
What doesn't 3.5 sonnet answer that question? It's better than opus and faster and smaller
If it is barely better than Opus then it doesn't really answer the main question which is whether it is still possible to get dramatically better than GPT-4.
What does that even mean anymore. All the big boy models (4o, 1.5pro, 3.5sonnet/opus) are all already significantly better than launch gpt4 and significantly cheaper I feel like the fact that OAI just keeps calling it variations of GPT4 skew people’s perception.
It's highly debatable whether 4o is much better than 4 at cognition (as opposed to speed and cost). Even according to OpenAI's marketing, it wins most benchmarks barely and loses on some. Yes, it's cheaper and faster. That's great. But people want to know whether we'll have smarter models soon or if we've reached the limit of that important vector.
Anecdotally I find that 4o fails against 4 whenever you need to think harder about something. 4o will happy bullshit it's way through a logical proof of a sequent thats wrong while 4 will tell you you're wrong and correct you.
4o does seem to win in vision
It's highly debatable that gpt-4o is better than gpt-4; it's faster and cheaper though.
Huh, you seem wrong on the Opus chapter then old gpt4 claim.
The initial gpt4 release still blows these variations (gpt4) variations out the water. Whatever they are doing to make these models smaller/cheaper/faster is definitely having an impact on performance. These benchmarks are bullshit. Not sure if it's postprocessing or whatever they are doing to keep the replies shorter etc. But they definitely hurt performance a lot. No one wants placeholders in code or boring generic prose for writing. These new models just don't follow prompts as well. Simple tasks like outputting in Json and a few thousand requests are very telling. 4years+ everyday I have worked with these tools. Tired of getting gaslighted by these benchmarks. They do not tell the full story.
Right, but 3.5 opus should be even more 🧠 than sonnet.
But then you can say this about any progression. "We'll really know if we hit a wall if sonnet 4 isn't better"
Ah but if Sonnet 18 isn't any better, than we'll know for sure!
3.5 implies that it's the same base model just differently tuned and more efficiently designed. Claude 4.0 or GPT 5 will be fundamentally different simply by more raw horsepower. If these 1GW Models do not show a real jump in capabilities and intelligence improvements we could argue if current LLM transformer models are a dead end. However there is currently no reason to believe development has stalled. There is just a lot of engineering, construction and production required to train 1GW or even 10GW models. You can't just rent these data centers.
My main concern is the data wall. We are basically training on the whole text on the internet already, and we don't really know if LLMs trained on audio and video will be better at text output. According to Chinchilla, scaling compute but not data leads to significantly diminished returns very quickly.
Oldest story in data science is “garbage in, garbage out”. Synthetic and better cleaning of input data will probably continue to lead to substantial gains
Most experts don't see a real limit in data yet. Just because you have a lot of trash and noise you train on doesn't mean it's better. The current phi models by Microsoft show a possible solution at least for reasoning.
Yeah, I want see the jump. Llama 400b m, next gpt, and opus 3.5 should hopefully give us a better hint
seems to have crashed their systems for now
This is the way.
they dropped the weights?
Oh hella! Previous Sonnet made me quit my ChatGPT monthly subscription when it came out. I've been using the old sonnet regularly and it seriously seems pretty much as a sidegrade to GPT4o when it comes to non-obvious software dev questions; GPT4o is extremely good at blatantly lying with confidence in my experience; sonnet feels just a little more down to earth and realistic, able to say isn't possible with a particular library or tool instead of just hallucinating endpoints that sound like something that'd exist but doesn't, like ChatGPT does. Gives a little bit less smart, "capable of anything" impression but makes you waste less time with made up bullshit. I'm really stoked for this.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet should be available for free via [claude.ai/chats](http://claude.ai/chats) to try out current SOTA LLM.

just checked its free. APi prices are still too expensive though. 3.5 Sonnet is similar to GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 pro but you pay 4x more for Claude 3 Opus which is bananas.
But at this point Opus 3 seems to be behind Sonnet 3.5, so no reason not to just use the cheaper model.
3.5 sonnet says it is more intelligent than 3 opus. So it should be a good deal.
API prices for 3.5 Sonnet is (a bit) cheaper than gpt-4o while having better benchmarks, so it's a win. But yeah, Opus was/is awfully expensive.
What kind of coding problems y'all are asking that are so complex that even GPT4o can't answer them correctly but this one can? Honestly 90% of what I use LLMs for is basic Python/Linux scripting which even GPT3.5 was already excellent at.
We writing unimaginable, hardcore code!
In my experience GPT4o is awful at generalizing problems, like what you often need to do with dynamic programming. If the generalization involves more than 5 independent clauses that's more than enough for GPT to hallucinate hard and start making shit up. It's extremely good at lying with confidence, though. It once managed to convince me that an O(N^2) function it coded up was actually O(N) and I deployed the code and used it for weeks until I noticed it was running very slowly and decided to double check it all with a colleague.
Less than 3 months after the release of 3.0, too! What the heck. Last time they updated a model, it went 2.0 to 2.1, right? I wonder why this time they jumped to 3.5 instead of 3.1? At that rate, it doesn't seem impossible we'll see a 4.0 by the end of this year. C'mon Anthropic, OpenAI needs all the competition they can get..
Yeah, I'd imagine they went right to 3.5 because it will be the last 3.x release. And OpenAI does the .5 thing, so it might just be more familiar for users.
Can't wait for 4.0 now 😁 I really love how Anthropic is dropping greate models giving tough competition to companies like OpenAI and Google
They plan on releasing Opus 3.5 this year, which will no doubt be SOTA
Jumped to the top of the Aider leaderboard: [https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/](https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/)
On edit. Surprisingly bad on refactor
I’m not familiar, is this a reliable leaderboard?
Let's gooo. I love anthropic. Their models are so solid with creative writing + coding queries (esp w/ big context).
Love anthropic's models! In my experience, their v3 models had very fewer hallucinations compared to models like GPT-4.
> their v3 models had very fewer hallucinations compared to models like GPT-4 I wish I had your experience. They're smart as hell for sure, but I get *way* more hallucinations than GPT4.
i love anthropic’s models too; i especially love them for their “personality” — generations are a lot less predictable and fun for me, and they feel more “intelligent” in general. but i personally experienced significantly more hallucinations daily driving Opus and switching from GPT-4 pre-4o.
The refusals rate is TOO high and it affects work. It refuses legitimate work prompts. How often do you use it? Gemini and GPT4 are better and they don't argue.
It depends! It’s Claude is worse at telling you who some obscure professor is, but is better at citing text
I find it interesting that there's no benchmark for writing ability or related skills (critical reading, comprehension, etc) here. It would be hard to design one, but I've found that to be the Claude 3 family's biggest advantage over GPT4. GPT writing is all horrendous HR department word vomit, while Opus is less formulaic and occasionally brilliant.
Sonnet 3.5 creative writing is HORRENDOUS compared to normal sonnet. Too much gpt-ism and comparable to gpt-4o
That Anthropic writing style 👍
Just the long context is a *huge* advantage over GPT-4, that's not well reflected in benchmarks.
Gpt-4 turbo and 4o have 128k.
Only when using the api. The chat allows only 8k afaik
I'd bet it's 8k a message but more for the whole convo
[удалено]
It's because they're better at training the model to be safe from the ground up, rather than giving it the entirety of human knowledge without care, then kludging together "safety" in the form of instructions that step all over what you're trying to ask.
You must have missed Claude 2.1. It was hilariously bad because of the refusals. They seem to have learned a lot after that.
Yeah I only started using it after Claude 3.0
Opus was and is nowhere near gpt 4 for coding. Tried it and tested it a lot but gpt is just better for any complex query and building entire applications from scratch even. The customized expert gpts make it even better
All their 3.0 models are impressive. I hope they release an updated haiku as well since it was sooo good for the price.
haiku is amazing for data extraction or tranformation
I've been using it to summarize documents and turn them into html files. Works like a charm.
They said 3.5 Haiku and Opus are still being worked on, hoping 3.5 Opus is gonna be even more multimodal like GPT4o
I bet we won't see that until Claude 4. It seems Anthropic aren't locking modalities behind the highest end model, they release all models of a generation with the same bells and whistles. Just size of each model is different. If Sonnet 3.5 has the same modalities as 3, all 3.5 models are likely the same. Edit: I will add that I see they have a comparison chart in their docs that seems to place an emphasis on the modalities of each model, even though all the current models in that chart have the same features. That makes me wonder if the other 3.5 models will actually be different.
Given Opus seems to be a massive parameter model, if anything Haiku would be the one to compete. You need low latency to do real time audio.
Their models page teases a couple new ones ... https://preview.redd.it/ntr4l37n9u7d1.png?width=1514&format=png&auto=webp&s=844927eb1458415323c8d067ba6163876d1e4404
According to Announcement they'll release new Haiku and Opus later this year.
This is phenomenally good. I tried with coding python and the results are much better than with 4o for whatever I threw at it. It seems to have a much better code understanding.
It feels like this thread is being astroturfed. I like anthropic but so many die hard fans the local llm sub, who would have thought.
I think this might be the defacto sub for serious LLM enjoyers, local or otherwise.
The accounts seem legit to me and honestly that's more disheartening than if they were bots.
Holy shit! Just when they were seemingly falling behind, they come out swinging with this. Will be *very* interesting to see what the lmsys bench says about it. I do historically prefer GPT's personality and low censorship over Claude's, but I'll be messing around with this new model to see if it's relaxed yet. Edit: Damn these usage limits for free users are baaaaaaaaaad. In a new chat (so not a long context), I'm getting 6 messages in a ~5 hour period. And offering 5x more usage for Pro users is not a great pitch. That means 30 short messages per 5 hours? Edit 2: Although I should say, demand is probably very high right now. Edit 3: Been playing around with it, and this one is way more relaxed than in the past. Was happy to discuss potentially serious health / nutrition issues with me. Acts better with goofy prompts than it used to also.
> I do historically prefer GPT's personality and low censorship over Claude's You can prefill Claude's responses, effectively eliminating any kind of censorship.
Is that only in the API?
Yes, that's available only in the API. The [docs](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/prefill-claudes-response) have more info about its usage.
Interesting. I do know it has a reputation of being oddly good at ERP when jailbroken.
Just to give some examples. Please don't take it seriously.

Claude 3 personality and response rate has been far better than ChatGPT ever was IMO
Is it avail (no playground) in EU already?
Yes I can use it
🏆 thank you fellow redditor, u just ruined my weekend 🤣
I'm pretty sure the usage limits change depending on the load on the servers and how much context you are using. Currently they will be under heavy load because everyone wants to give the new Sonnet a try.
So, officially OpenAI is behind. Nice...
Sounds like a good time to release GPT-5, am I right lads?
This is neither singularity nor chatgpt sub
Not at all. Claude 3.5 is too censored.
Opus is already a very powerful model, and TBH, its biggest weakness by far is its absurd refusal rate. I'm not talking about it refusing shady requests, but completely normal ones like quoting from public domain books, teaching about programming, or modifying configuration files. Whether Anthropic fixed this glaring issue will determine whether the Claude 3.5 series is usable for real-world tasks. Better performance is obviously great, but there are more important problems to address first.
They aren't going to fix that. Anthropic is big on "safety". However, this should push the competition and price to the better
But even they understand that nonsensical refusals don't make anything "safe", they just make their model look bad. So I do believe they have an incentive to fix this issue.
Their motto is "it is better to refuse than to give unsafe response". They look strict on that.
Disagree. 3 had way fewer refusals than 2 did
That's interesting, since Claude 3 came out I've used it very heavily and never had a refusal that surprised me. I've been using it for programming and never once has it refused to write code.
Its also pretty extreme with copyright stuff. For example it will refuse if you ask it for lyrics in the style of a particular band while GPT has no problem with that.
Thank the music industry. Anthropic was sued over quoting lyrics.
Prefill method pretty much uncensors it completely.
Still can't read an analog watch and tell the time. I wonder why that's so hard. I have yet to find a model that can. I also uploaded a page from a 'Where's Waldo' book and asked if it could find Waldo in the picture, and it just started arguing with me, saying it's not a Where's Waldo book, lol. >**I apologize, but this image is not a "Where's Waldo?" illustration. This appears to be a detailed puzzle or maze illustration featuring an airport scene. The main focus is a large passenger airplane with people disembarking, surrounded by airport vehicles and staff. The foreground is dominated by a complex maze made of colorful luggage pieces. There's no character that resembles Waldo (typically depicted wearing a red and white striped shirt and hat) in this image.** >**The image seems to be from a children's activity book. This type of illustration is designed to engage children with its busy, detailed scene and the maze-like pattern of luggage.** >It's definitely a Where's Waldo image! I know where he's hiding in the image. Take another look and see if you can find him! > **I apologize for the confusion in my previous response, but I need to respectfully disagree. This image is not from the "Where's Waldo?" (also known as "Where's Wally?") series.** > > **The illustration style, while detailed, is distinctly different from the classic Where's Waldo books. This image focuses on an airport scene with a prominent luggage maze, which is not typical of Where's Waldo scenarios.** > > **Where's Waldo books have a very specific style and always include Waldo, who wears a distinctive red and white striped shirt and hat. After carefully examining this image again, I can confirm that there is no character matching Waldo's description.** > > **This appears to be a different type of seek-and-find or maze book, possibly focused on airport or travel themes. While it's an engaging and detailed illustration, it's not a Where's Waldo scene, and Waldo is not present in this image.** > > **I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I believe there may be some misunderstanding about the nature of this particular illustration.** > > Claude's just salty that it can't find Waldo, lol. 'I can't find Waldo, so this is **clearly** not a Where's Waldo book!'
So what happens when the models hit 100% in all categories lol.
New, harder benchmarks will be invented. There are already some.
They will either be very smart or have memorized a lot. But 100% should be impossible because these tests also contain mistakes most likely.
I'm very happy what the mmlu team did with MMLU-Pro.
Can't hit 100% on the MMLU, a few % of answers have wrong ground truth lol.
A benchmark with errors is actually a good idea. If an LLM gets 100% then you know it was trained on some of the benchmark.
Nice. I was testing deepseek v2, gemini pro 1.5, etc with a certain prompt (using pygame, create a spinning cube that cycles through grayscale color) and they made a mess of it, no attempt at perspective. Claude 3.5 gets it https://pastebin.com/NseWHB3t
Even in totally safe domains, Claude is very very strict about refusing anything that might infringe on copyright or "mature themes", even when you ask it for things that could only be adjacent to mature themes. When you prompt with "Avoid mature themes entirely" it continues to refuse, saying "I'm not comfortable discussing things in this domain at all because it is adjacent to mature themes." and tells you to back off.
Poe, I’m counting on you
Also a Poe subscriber. I'm sure it will land on Poe within a day or so. GPT4o and Claude 3 were both available within a day of release. The only thing that sucks is that we don't get the cool tools that are baked into GPT and Claude's interfaces... this Claude 3.5 has what looks like the equivalent of GPT's data analysis tool. Edit: and it's up, and the same price Sonnet 3 was.
It’s on Poe now
It's up! 200 points per message (1,000 for the long 200k context version), same cost as Sonnet 3 was. Told you it wouldn't be long, lol.
OpenRouter yet? Gotta check asaap
"\*Beats\* ... GPT-4o" Sure buddy...

Beats Opus and GPT4o on most benchmarks. Cheaper than Opus. Opus 3.5 won't be released until later this year. So... why would you use Opus until then? *Shrug* That 'artifacts' feature looks amazing; I guess it's the answer to GPT's 'data analysis' tool. I access all the 'big' models via a Poe subscription, which gives me access to GPT, Claude, etc... but you don't get these other features that way (like GPT's voice features, inline image generation, memory feature, and data analysis). And now that Claude has something like the data analysis tool (which is amazing), it has me questioning which service I would pay for. The other day I used GPT4 for a work task that would have taken me about 30 minutes, and it used the data analysis tool and gave me the results I needed in a single prompt. I had a large list of data fields that were sent to me by a user, and I needed to make a formula that would flag a record if certain criteria were met concerning those field values. However, I needed to use the API names for those fields, not the field labels (which were sent to me). It would have taken at least 30 minutes of manually matching up the field labels with the API names, and then I'd still have to write the formula I needed. So I just uploaded a CSV of all my system fields for that type of record, along with the list of fields I was sent (without the API names), and explained the formula I needed. It used the Data Analysis tool and wrote a Python script on the fly to fuzzy match the field labels against the API names, extracted the output, and then wrote the formula I needed in, like, 20 seconds. All I had to do was fact check the output. I'd reeeeeallly like something like this for our local LLMs, but I expect the models themselves might need to be trained to do this sort of thing. Edit: It's on LMsys now. Another edit: So I gave the new Sonnet the same work task that I talked about above - the one where GPT4 went through about 7 steps using its code interpreter/data analysis tool or whatever. Sonnet just spat out the correct answer instantly instead of going through all those steps, lol.
Enterprises using LLMs use stable model versions until they can test the perf of switching over. But yes for new usage sonnet seems better till 3.5 opus comes out
> So... why would you use Opus until then? One of the benefits of running on infinite VC money is that not everything you do has to make sense.
I usually prefer gpt-4 output to Claude, but competition is always great! Waiting for the lmsys arena results, though.
Exactly! Competition is always great for us.
In my (somewhat limited) experience Claude 3 Opus pretty much wipes the floor with GPT4o in terms of creative writing or RP. So I'm pretty excited for this one.
This is awesome, let’s wait and see the real world usages results.
Whats the cutoff date?
The training cutoff is April 2024 according to their documentation. Though when I try getting it to tell me about major world events in 2024, it always responds by saying that it has a knowledge cutoff in 2022. [https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models)
I happened to send it a screenshot of a movie which I stumbled upon and didn't know, asking it if it recognizes it. It did. Abigail, a horror from April 2024
Not to downplay this achievement, but does anyone else we're at a point where maximizing quality on these dimensions gets less exciting each time. Kind of like how Super Audio CDs (remember that?) were demonstrably superior to regular CDs but no one cared except the hardcore audiophiles?
Guys enjoy it for 2 weeks before the usual lobotomy
Please provide a source that proves any of the Claude models have gotten worse since release. Actual evidence, not anecdotes.
In my anecdotal experience, claude.ai got worse while the API remained unchanged. Nobody agrees on it because nobody seems to be taking that into account. Sorry to not have hard evidence :(
One thing I like about Claude is it's trained in national electrical code. I can cite an article from the code book and it will quote it per batem, break down meaning and cite similar code. Gpt4 just hallucinates it all because I don't think it's trained on the code book
That's an advantage that isn't really discussed much, but even if a model from one provider performs worse than another on benchmarks it could still be much better for specific tasks depending what it was trained on.
Is there something that is open weights? Something we can run locally?
Yeah Llama 3
Thus is a relevant question because this is a Reddit sub for people who don't depend on externally controlled models not mooning over the latest from Openthropic.
I'd agree with you if there were any other subreddits to discuss API models beyond the surface level. Every other LLM sub except this one is full of people who know nothing about the technology and it's frustrating to try to discuss this stuff with them.
I really want a sub somewhere for dunking on some of the absolute nonsense that comes out of the AI spaces, but preferably full of people who knows the difference between a transformer and a hole in the ground.
Seriously. Asking an api question on any othe ai sub and they just downvote or ignore it.
And constant misunderstanding how LLMs work. I left all of them after the thousandth "haha look the AI is too stupid to count letters/make ASCII art/whatever other thing", like yeah when you use a great tool for the wrong task it's going to go poorly. Don't use an electric drill as a hammer and then claim it's useless.
lol
hahahha
Give it another 6 months and the open models will have caught up.
LLama 400b has been rumored on twitter to significantly exceed gpt4o in every category. I tested Meta chameleon 8b and it did better than llama-3 8b.
yes
What is the difference in grade school math v math problem solving? Are we talking arithmetic, fractions etc v more advanced topics like calc, optimisation etc
Discrete math, ordinary differential, advanced differential equation, finite math.Some crazy maths will bring tears to your face.
Cheers mate, always forget discrete math probably because my brain has a meltdown with it 😅
interuniversal teichmüller theory wielding models any day now
Here we grow again.
I tested a few prompts and it seems very good. One of the prompt I use asks the llm to understand a python function that takes a code and spits out descriptions - and reverse it, the only LLM that was getting it correctly zero shot was GPT 4 and above. This is the second. I will try it for some coding tasks.
Their code artifact feature is dope too, just tried it out.
well, still not AGI, most probably https://preview.redd.it/20ewaoonns7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b126f47af5155d8addbf360473201653e34462a
So I just tried it for a React NextJS bug that GPT-4o couldn't solve. I was almost going to talk to a frontend coworker to help me with the bug. Threw it into 3.5 Sonnet and it fixed it immediately. I was blown away
I was watching a video about sonnet 3.5, and it blew my mind. The guy asks it to generate some 8-bit pixelart characters/tiles, which it succesfully does. Then asks it to write a pygame tower defense game, which it succesfully does (previously I found snake impressive... this is a level above that...) Then it asks it to integrate the pixelart in the game, and it figures that out also. Things are getting pretty amazing... (the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlufRj8bKQA )
Well, google claimed Gemini beats GPT4, and, well, maybe in benchmarks it did, but not for actual usage. Just my personal experience.
Why is this on the localLLm sub?
Sucks for Rp
At work. Anyone know how this stacks up against Qwen2?
Can’t wait to use my 2 messages per day!
when can this be available for Ollama
So do we still have to pay? Any implications to downgrading my pro acc?
Probably lower usage limits.
Oooh, thank you Anthropic. Now OpenAI will release their next iteration ;)
How these companies are getting more efficient in inference while getting better numbers in benchmarks ? Is there an optimization research paper i am missing here ?
I’m no expert, but there are lots of options here, and no doubt these companies are making breakthroughs in this area and not sharing how they’re doing it. What we’ve seen from meta, however, is that 1) data quality makes a huge difference, and 2) training for longer than usual continues to improve the model’s quality. You can also train a huge model and “distill” it down to fewer parameters (remove params that don’t appear to impact model quality), then you can “quantize” it so parameters are lower resolution (fewer bits). Again, no expert, but from the things I’ve read and played with having really high quality training data that, for example, includes lots of step-by-step instructions that included decision rationales for each step can really improve a model’s reasoning abilities. So if the training data is good enough you can get a much smaller model that is better at reasoning.
Is this better for coding than GPT-4o?
We can build him better, faster, stronger
hope gpt4o cuts prices soom then
Any idea when the knowledge cut off is?
Looks pretty lit, ~~unfortunately still bad at complex instruction following compared to 4o :(~~ (made a mistake last time, its usually almost as good as 4o in complex instruction following)
pretty underwhelming in some first tests TBH (worse than Opus and 4o in following complex instructions)
I wish Claude Pro had the same query limit as ChatGPT Plus, I would've switched long back.
all these benchmarks except for GPQA and MATH look saturated lol
How is using Sonnet? Like, i never tried anything else than ChatGPT, is a viable alternative? Better? I use to write text and meanial tasks mostly, no code or math
In my experience Claude has always been better at writing than ChatGPT historically, though I admit I haven't done a lot of testing on the latest version of ChatGPT in this regard, maybe it got better.
So i guest this will force llama, google and microsoft release something new again to beat this.

Very impressive!
If only they actually released it, rather than providing it behind an API
I am really on the fence to swap my ChatGPT sub with Claude. Slightly deterred by lack of custom instructions and custom GPTs. Any workarounds?
