The Big Three: GPT, Claude, and LLaMA

Let’s start with the heavy hitters:

GPT-4: The Creative Genius

GPT-4, OpenAI’s latest brainchild, is like that friend who’s always got a wild story to tell. It’s:

  • Incredibly creative
  • Great at generating human-like text
  • A bit of a show-off when it comes to language tasks

But here’s the catch — it’s not always the most accurate. Think of it as the life of the party, not the designated driver.

Claude: The Fact-Checker

Anthropic’s Claude is the studious type. It’s:

  • More focused on accuracy
  • Better at tasks requiring attention to detail
  • Less likely to make stuff up
