I feel like OpenAI is pursuing AGI when Anthropic/Claude is pursuing making AI awesome for practical things like coding.

I only ever using OpenAI's coding now as a double check against Claude.

Does OpenAI have their eyes on the ball?

View on HN

My usage has come down to mostly Claude (until I run out of free tier quota) and then Gemini. Claude is the best for code and Gemini 2.0 Flash is good enough while also being free (well considering how much data G has hoovered up over the years, perhaps not) and more importantly highly available.

For simple queries like generating shell scripts for some plumbing, or doing some data munging, I go straight to Gemini.

Yep, exactly same here.

Gemini 2.0 Flash is extremely good, and I've yet to hit any usage limits with them - for heavy usage I just go to Gemini directly. For "talk to an expert" usage, Claude is hard to beat though.

Claude still can't make real time web searches though for RAG, unless I'm missing something.

>I feel like OpenAI is pursuing AGI

I don't think so, the "AGI guy" was Ilya Sutskever, he is gone, he wanted to make OpenAI "less comercial", AGI is just a buzzword for Altmann.

Right. A good chunk of the "old guard" is now gone - Ilya to SSI, Mira and a bunch of others to a new venture called Thinking Machines, Alec Radford etc. Remains to be seen if OpenAI will be the leader or if other players catch up.

The page still has Mira Muratis name under Exec Leadership

Pursuing AGI? What method do they use to pursue something that no one knows what it is? They will keep saying they are pursuing AGI as long as there's a buyer for their BS.

Open AI is pursuing bullshit as they realised they can not compete anymore as they fired most of their talent year ago
