Show HN: Unified access to top AI models, supporting GPT4, Claude and more

Hello hackernews, I am looking for feedback for Labophase.com which is a app that focuses on returning results from multiple ai models at the same time. I currently support: GPT4-Turbo, Claude-2, Google PaLM2, Llama2, Mistral, and OpenOrca. Working on supporting Gemini soonTM.

I built it to solve a couple of personal pains I experienced. After reaching out to a couple of users in r/localllama, seems that people would have similar approach to address hallucination, availability, and comparing ai models. Initial feedback came in with some surprises that I'm hoping to get feedback from the bigger HN community:

1. Do people prefer a "search" interface over a chatbot interface i.e. (one to many as opposed to one to one interaction with ai)?

- My experience is that it's the best defense against hallucinations and misinformation from models because models often hallucinate and fail in different ways and is very obvious when you compare it against other responses.

2. Do a lot of people manage multiple subscriptions and billing to access more than one ai model?

3. Is local setup for accessing the top open source ai models so painful that most people don't bother?

Note: Labophase is in beta, accounts is not fully working and expect some bugs here and there. Free access will continue until I run out of credits.

I really like the way the hosted version of openplayground is setup. You create an account and they manage the API access to the different models, so i don't have to create an account with each AI company. I use it on all my devices to access different models. https://github.com/nat/openplayground

I load up $5 into my account using my credit card and then reload it whenever it gets low, it also has a tab for comparing multiple resulta from different models together.

Best of luck on the project!

Thanks for introducing me to that project, it's in the same space of unifying access to all these different models.

Wonder how you felt about the comparing results aspect? Dis their chat interface felt more intuitive and natural than the "search" interface?

Oh wow, this is really neat. I’ve been doing this manually when trying to decide which model to use for a side project on mine. It will be very convenient to have it all in one place. Thank you for sharing this.

This seemed great, until I popped $5 on it yesterday, made one query, then came back to it this morning and I think it's been "HackerNewsHugged" as it's incredibly slow, and my $5 credit has vanished .

I think so, they had some sort of network issues today,my client did the same thing on and off for most of the day, but it seems to be solved now and all my credits and history are there again.

Nat.dev (openplaygroundl) is a nice way to access Claude if you don't have API access but want to explore a few settings not available on public facing web sites like system prompts.

Your web site is a cool concept but I think you'll have a hard time competing with Poe value wise for SFW LLM usage.

I don't think it supports GPT4

Are you GPT4?

No, I am an AI language model developed by OpenAI based on GPT-3 technology. As of my last update, GPT-4 had not been released, and I wouldn't have the capabilities or knowledge to confirm if it exists or what features it might have. My purpose is to provide information and answer questions to the best of my ability based on the data available up to my last training cut-off in early 2022.

Ah interesting find, root cause is explained here in openAi forums for why the api behaves so:

- https://community.openai.com/t/gpt-4-api-thinks-its-gpt-3/41... - https://community.openai.com/t/gpt-4-through-api-says-its-gp... - https://community.openai.com/t/gpt-4-api-behaves-likes-its-g...

Effectively, I did not set system prompt to let the api know it's GPT4. I'll correct it for deployment later tonight, thank you for commenting!

This has been corrected, hope you get the chance to try out labophase again!

Feature release: labophase is now supporting mixtral8x7b
