Claude 3 is an incredibly intelligent language model that was recently released. I had the opportunity to read the technical report and release notes, and I have tested it extensively. While my initial impression is positive, it will take more time to fully understand its capabilities. However, I believe Claude 3 will become very popular.
During my testing, I compared Claude 3 to Gemini 1.5 and GPT 4. Claude 3 outperformed the other models in various tasks. For example, it successfully read a postbox image and determined the last collection time. Additionally, it excelled at following instructions, such as creating a Shakespearean sonnet with specific requirements. These enhanced capabilities are impressive, especially considering anthropic's focus on safety research.
I also conducted tests to evaluate Claude 3's performance in different scenarios. It demonstrated excellent OCR capabilities and accurately recognized license plate numbers. However, it struggled with more complex mathematical reasoning and advanced logic. Despite some limitations, Claude 3 showcases high intelligence and potential for various business use cases.
One interesting aspect of Claude 3 is its ability to generate creative and risque content. It provides ideas for parties and can even write risque Shakespearean sonnets. However, it does have some biases and may not handle certain racial statements appropriately. Nevertheless, anthropic emphasizes that their models are trained to avoid toxic outputs and unethical activities.
Comparing Claude 3 to GPT 4 and Gemini 1.5 Pro, it consistently performs better in mathematics, coding, and graduate-level Q&A. It excels in particularly challenging questions, outperforming even human experts in certain domains. However, it is not without its flaws, occasionally making minor mistakes in rounding and calculations.
Frankly speaking, Calude 3 seems to be on par with GPT-4. so, let see what OpenAI competes with that.
