Todayโs pick
'The king is dead'-Claude 3 surpasses GPT-4 on Chatbot Arena for the first time. On Tuesday, Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus large language model (LLM) surpassed OpenAI's GPT-4 (which powers ChatGPT) for the first time on Chatbot Arena, a popular crowdsourced leaderboard used by AI researchers to gauge the relative capabilities of AI language models. "The king is dead," tweeted software developer Nick Dobos in a post comparing GPT-4 Turbo and Claude 3 Opus that has been making the rounds on social media. "RIP GPT-4."

๐: Honestly, the wildest thing about this whole Claude 3 > GPT-4 is how easy it is to just... switch?? I've rarely used ChatGPT since the day Opus launched, or the OA APIs. There's no "stickiness" in AI experiences, at least not yet. Not until better agentic frameworks drop. - Pietro Schirano (@skirano)
