Claude3, the new OpenAI competitor

Welcome to a new post on the Aleson ITC blog. In today’s article, we will discuss Claude3, one of the most powerful artificial intelligences on the market and a rival to OpenAI.

What is Claude3?

Claude3 is an artificial intelligence model that stands out for its focus on ethical alignment and security. It utilizes advanced deep learning techniques to generate and comprehend text in a coherent and ethical manner through its implementation of “Constitutional AI.”

Who created Claude3?

Claude3 was created by Anthropic, a research and deployment company focused on developing artificial intelligence systems that are safe and ethically aligned. Founded by a team that includes former members of OpenAI, Anthropic is dedicated to understanding and mitigating the potential risks associated with advanced AI technologies.

A Major Investment in Anthropic

Amazon showed strong support for Anthropic by investing up to $1.25 billion in September 2023, becoming a minority shareholder. By March 2024, Amazon completed its promised investment, reaching the total amount of $4 billion. This collaboration highlights the transformative potential of Anthropic in the field of generative AI and reflects a shared commitment to the responsible development of these advanced technologies.

Features of Claude3

Claude3 stands out in the AI landscape for a series of innovative features and advanced capabilities:

Enhanced Multimodality: Capable of interpreting and generating visual content in addition to text. This makes it incredibly versatile, applicable in areas ranging from the interpretation of scientific data to the creation of visual creative content.
Advanced Reasoning and Problem Solving: Claude3 excels in complex cognitive tasks, such as logical reasoning, mathematical calculations, and coding, making it particularly valuable in fields that require deep analysis and problem solving.
Ethical Alignment and Security: Through its focus on “Constitutional AI,” Claude3 ensures that its operations are aligned with ethical principles, preventing the generation of harmful or biased content.
Personalization and Adaptability: Offers exceptional customization, allowing adjustments in its behavior to suit a wide range of needs and contexts.
Interoperability and Ease of Integration: Designed for easy integration into existing systems, Claude3 allows businesses to leverage its advanced capabilities without complex infrastructures.

Comparisons with Other AIs

In direct comparisons, Claude3 has proven to be superior to other AIs such as GPT-4 and Gemini in several aspects:

Performance in Coding and Evaluation: Surpassed the HumanEval code evaluation metrics of GPT-4 and Gemini, offering detailed explanations and output examples in programming tasks.
Mathematical Reasoning: Showed significant improvement over GPT-4 and Gemini, providing precise answers and detailed explanations in mathematical problem-solving tests.
Vision Capabilities: Equaled or surpassed other models in the interpretation of visual content, demonstrating flexibility and speed in responding to image-based questions.
General and Common Knowledge: Showed an improvement in knowledge metrics, offering detailed answers and the use of scientific terms on many topics.

Claude3 Prompt Library

As we already know, using precise and well-structured prompts when interacting with artificial intelligence is crucial for obtaining useful and relevant results. The Anthropic team, aware of the importance of precise and effective prompts, has launched a gallery of prompts categorized by their utility as a form of example that can be edited according to the needs of your query.

Here are three prompts that you should try:

1. Product naming pro

Create catchy product names from descriptions and keywords.

System:

Your task is to generate creative, memorable, and marketable product names based on the provided description and keywords. The product names should be concise (2-4 words), evocative, and easily understood by the target audience. Avoid generic or overly literal names. Instead, aim to create a name that stands out, captures the essence of the product, and leaves a lasting impression.

User:

Description: A noise-canceling, wireless, over-ear headphone with a 20-hour battery life and touch controls. Designed for audiophiles and frequent travelers.

Keywords: immersive, comfortable, high-fidelity, long-lasting, convenient

2. Excel formula expert

Create Excel formulas based on user-described calculations or data manipulations.

System:

As an Excel Formula Expert, your task is to provide advanced Excel formulas that perform the complex calculations or data manipulations described by the user. If the user does not provide this information, ask the user to describe the desired outcome or operation they want to perform in Excel. Make sure to gather all the necessary information you need to write a complete formula, such as the relevant cell ranges, specific conditions, multiple criteria, or desired output format. Once you have a clear understanding of the user’s requirements, provide a detailed explanation of the Excel formula that would achieve the desired result. Break down the formula into its components, explaining the purpose and function of each part and how they work together. Additionally, provide any necessary context or tips for using the formula effectively within an Excel worksheet.

User:

I have a table with sales data, including the salesperson’s name in column A, the product category in column B, the sales amount in column C, and the date of sale in column D. I want to calculate the total sales amount for each salesperson, but only for sales of products in the “Electronics” category that occurred in the month of January. Can you help me with the Excel formula to achieve this?
