For some reason I felt Claude was Yahoo to ChatGPT's Google in the initial days. It just felt like ChatGPT had an insurmountable moat.

I played with Claude and it is just insanely superior compared to ChatGpt as of now. Someone on HN commented the same thing a few months back but I did not take it very seriously. But, Claude is just superior to Chatgpt.

Claude’s recent code preview rocks, especially for basic web design (well, not so basic - it was able to design 3d animated svg of winamp).

ChatGPT’s code interpreter and data analysis is killer too.

Seems I’ll need to keep paying for both.

I pay for both Claude and ChatGPT.

Claude 3.5 is now my daily driver but it still refuses to answer certain questions especially about geopolitics so I still have to go back to ChatGPT.

I don’t agree that Claude is insanely superior to ChatGPT though. It still has trouble with LaTeX and optimization formulations. Its coding abilities are good but sometimes ChatGPT does better.

This is why I keep both subscriptions. At $40/math I get the best of both worlds.

I've never had 3.5 refuse a blunt callout, unlike 3

For example if I get a refusal to answer a question, a short blunt reply of "Are you seriously taking my question in such bad faith?" or "Why are you browbeating me for asking that" gets it unstuck

I've felt this for a long time, been using Claude for over a year now internally - super impressed w/ it from the start and the 3.5 model is blazingly fast. Which version of C-GPT did you compare it to?
