I have been using both for work and other stuff . I see that right now Anthropic Claude is better at many things than OpenAI . Sam has been busy marketing and all that bullshit while anthropic have been busy building with very less marketing. I expect anthropic to continue the lead unless they get someone like Sam on board . I believe Andre karpathy was one of the reasons why OpenAI ChatGPT was so good . Anthropic and lama from Facebook are two products I would watch out for in the ai assistant space
he has gdb as a twitter handle! Either he is quite old, quite rich or quite lucky.
Don't know if the ai alignment will happen. But for sure no one is aligning with sam
Claude is solid. It writes full PRDs for me. It makes mock ups for the UI also. Saves a ton of time!
