Claude is available for free in the Poe app (poe.com). I think it's good and underappreciated.
yeah, been using it instead of ChatGPT and it performs better IMO. My conversational LLM of choice for sure.
It is good, but the free subscription to Poe only provides access to Claude Instant. It's impressively fast but not their smartest model (claude-v1.3).
I've got access, it's _blazing_ fast and seems very good. Solved some of my little puzzles that other models couldn't. I haven't tried ChatGPT-4 yet, but it's the best one that I have used.
You need to try GPT4 only because GPT3.5 really doesn't compare to it in a lot of ways.
GPT-4 is a major leap ahead of everything else I've used (including GPT-3.5), so definitely worth trying for comparison.
