Anthropic’s new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Claude 3 models beat competitors in many areas, experts told PYMNTS. The company, which released the models on Monday (March 4), claims that Claude 3 Opus — the most advanced among the new models — surpassed both OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Gemini Ultra in industry benchmark assessments. The evaluations covered areas such as undergraduate-level knowledge, graduate-level reasoning and basic mathematics. The new models signify the intensifying competition among AI companies to advance their technologies in an increasingly heated sector. “Claude surpasses GPT-4 in almost every area,” Richard Gardner, the CEO of tech consulting firm Modulus, told PYMNTS in an interview. “However, we feel Claude’s alignment layer is overly restrictive. With that said, GPT-4’s alignment layer is also becoming too restrictive,” he said, adding that he prefers using open source models.
