"I believe Anthropics' Claude is somewhat underappreciated. In some instances, it outperforms GPT4"

I've found Claude to be better than GPT4 at creative writing and explanations, while GPT4 seems to be better at logic-puzzlish stuff.

I'd be interested to know if you have specific prompts that demonstrate this. I have a list of tasks that I use to test out models and the only time I've seen a model do better than GPT-4 is Bard performing better at my research task with internet search enabled.

Anecdotally I do find myself using Claude for summarization. It does seem to require less prompt crafting to get good results so when I just need an article or YouTube video summarized it's nice to be able to just drop it in and be like, "summarize this"

You might like the Perplexity Chrome extension[1]. I've found whatever technique they're using to be the best at summarization.
