FWIW, I do find that Claude (Anthropic's GPT) is often better than GPT4 -- and very fast. Entrants can compete on price, safety, quality, etc.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if the major API-based vendors start leaning in on making their safety config proprietary.

If a business has already sunk XXXX hours into ensuring a model meets their safety criteria for public-facing use, they'd rather upgrade to a newer model from the same vendor that guarantees portability of that, versus having to reinvest and recertify.

Ergo, the AI PaaS that dominate at the beginning will likely continue to dominate.

Fine tuning is at a low point now, but i expect this to create a moat for the same reasons.

It also provides a ChatGPT interface, and a number of other models.

Prompt:

  The original titles and release years in the Harry Potter series are:

  Philosopher's Stone (1997)
  Chamber of Secrets (1998)
  Prisoner of Azkaban (1999)
  Goblet of Fire (2000)
  Order of the Phoenix (2003)
  Half-Blood Prince (2005)
  Deathly Hallows (2007)
  
  Given this, generate a new Harry Potter title, using only the words found in the existing titles. Avoid orderings in the original titles. You may add or remove plurals and possessives.

ChatGPT: Blood Chamber of the Phoenix's Prisoner

Claude-instant: Chamber Prince Half-Blood Phoenix

So when I’m doing quantum computing work, I go back and forth between Claude and GPT4 and both complement the other very well.
