How does Anthropic compare to OpenAI? (lemmy.ca)

ChatGPT is down, the new CEO is threatening to quit, and the majority of employees are doing the same... so I decided to look up some alternatives

The name Anthropic came up a few times, but I'm not familiar with them. I've seen Claude mentioned in the past

Anthropic PBC is an American artificial intelligence (AI) startup company, founded by former members of OpenAI.[3][4] Anthropic develops general AI systems and large language models.[5] It is a public-benefit corporation, and has been connected to the effective altruism movement.

As of July 2023, Anthropic had raised US$1.5 billion in funding. In September, Amazon announced an investment of up to US$4 billion, followed by a $2 billion commitment from Google the next month https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic

So are they more ethical / committed to AI safety, or more of the same? Does the product compare well to ChatGPT?

It refuses more from what I've seen. Personally I don't think it's a good idea to become dependant on any commercially hosted model. Open models are a bit behind but they're getting there.

The problem with open models is you basically have to run it on your own hardware, and the hardware is not only expensive it's also unobtainable.

H100 GPUs are sold by scalpers for $50k with no warranty — and worse that's an obsolete model. The H200 GPU just can't be purchased at all unless you're filling a datacentre with them.

It's also insufferablely slow, and the answers are ... well ... not exactly up to gpt-4 level to say the least
