Anthropic AI Claude 2 vs. OpenAI ChatGPT: How do they stack up?

Recently Anthropic AI released their chatbot, Claude 2. With Claude 2, they have set their sights on challenging established players like ChatGPT and Google Bard, and believe their chatbot is more than up to the task.

But is it? Here we give a comparison of Anthropic AI Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Unleashing the Power of Context

One of the most significant advancements of Claude 2 is its unparalleled ability to handle context. While its predecessor, Claude, had a token limit of 9,000, Claude 2 can digest up to 100,000 tokens in a single prompt. This translates to approximately 75,000 words of contextual information. Such a dramatic leap enables our AI powerhouse to provide responses in a more contextual and improved manner, offering users a truly immersive and personalized experience.

A Powerhouse in Multiple Fields

Claude 2 has made significant strides across various domains, including law, mathematics, and coding. We have put Claude 2 to the test with standardized exams, and the results speak for themselves.
