What they've released today: Gemini Pro is in Bard today. Gemini Pro will be coming to API soon (Dec 13?). Gemini Ultra will be available via Bard and API "early next year"
Therefore, as of Dec 6 2023:
SOTA API = GPT-4, still.
SOTA Chat assistant = ChatGPT Plus, still, for everything except video, where Bard has capabilities . ChatGPT plus is closely followed by Claude. (But, I tried asking Bard a question about a youtube video today, and it told me "I'm sorry, but I'm unable to access this YouTube content. This is possible for a number of reasons, but the most common are: the content isn't a valid YouTube link, potentially unsafe content, or the content does not have a captions file that I can read.")
SOTA API after Gemini Ultra is out in ~Q1 2024 = Gemini Ultra, if OpenAI/Anthropic haven't released a new model by then
SOTA Chat assistant after Bard Advanced is out in ~Q1 2024 = Bard Advanced, probably, assuming that OpenAI/Anthropic haven't released new models by then
Gemini 1.5 Pro is on-par with GPT-4 and Opus in LMSys, and you can go try it for yourself in LMSys, and it's coming soon to Gemini Advanced (announced at I/O). Seems like GPT4O puts OpenAI in front again on LMSys
Found it in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37835564 - I've been looking for a good tool that uses the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 APIs, because I'd rather use pay-per-token than a subscription.
How people get access to the premium models is typically to sign up[1] for an account and pay a subscription. GPT-4o is significantly different from original GPT-4 which is again very significantly different from GPT-3.5. This is all moving fast.
So if you don't want to pay for a subscription I think you can get some free use of anthropic's most capable model (Opus) - I don't know the status of what you can get for free from openai.
The opinion of AI reddit is only really going to get you so far because the capabilities of the models are wildly different for different use cases, so you really need to be able to try it out for yourself and see if it can do what you need it to do.
Maybe you already did that, just reminder for those who don't know - you need to apply for API access for gpt-4. I did that and was granted it after about 2 days.
Free gpt4 access is nice. And the app seems well designed. Id like to see what the limits of the free account are compared to the pro account. I also couldn't see where to do image generation.
Unless you're an extremely heavy user, it's cheaper to just use the API. I've been tempted to do that, but OpenAI doesn't have a free trial for me to see the quality of GPT-4 first.
A good way to use your Gemini Ultra 2months trial and see if you want to switch to Google AI Premium subscription.
