Battle of the Algorithms: Anthropic’s Claude 3 AI Model Rivals Competition

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.  But to understand why comparing AI models can be tricky, read the insights shared by Ilia Badeev, the head of data science at Trevolution Group, by clicking here.
