How Do ChatGPT and Claude Respond Differently to the Same Situation?
In recent years, Generative AI has made significant strides. Notably, ChatGPT developed by OpenAI and Claude developed by Anthropic have gained attention as leading AI conversational systems.
While both AIs understand user prompts and generate appropriate responses through a similar process, their response results vary slightly due to differences in their characteristics.
In this lesson, we will compare how responses from ChatGPT and Claude differ.
A Quick Look at the Differences Between ChatGPT and Claude
AI responses vary based on the characteristics of the trained data and the model (a computer algorithm designed to perform specific tasks by learning from data). Just as you and your friend have different life experiences and knowledge, ChatGPT and Claude have different training methods and data, giving them distinct personalities.
Let's compare some key differences between ChatGPT and Claude in the table below.
| Feature | ChatGPT | Claude |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | OpenAI | Anthropic |
| Technology Used | GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4o, etc. | Claude 3, 3.5 (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) |
| Information Capacity | 32K tokens | 200K tokens |
| Internet Search | Available | Not Available (as of July 2024) |
| Image Generation | Available (using DALL·E) | Not Available |
| Supported Languages | Over 95 languages | English, Japanese, Spanish, French, etc. |
| Monthly Plan | $20/month (ChatGPT Plus) | $20/month (Claude Pro) |
| API Usage Fee | Varies by usage (e.g., $60/1000 words) | Varies by usage (e.g., $15/1000 words) |
| Advantage | Internet-based search, image generation | Ability to process large information, lower usage cost |
| Disadvantage | Limited information capacity at once | No image generation or internet search |
| Specialty | Can converse on diverse topics | Ethics, creative writing, processing long documents |
Let's briefly summarize the characteristics of ChatGPT and Claude.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT has extensive knowledge across various topics due to its vast data training in multiple fields.
Additionally, ChatGPT, developed and operated by OpenAI, integrates with the image generation model DALL-E to offer image generation capabilities. It also provides a Retrieval Augmented Generation feature that delivers answers based on the latest internet information.
However, compared to Claude, the amount of information it can understand at once (context window) is smaller, which might limit its ability to generate responses for lengthy inputs.
Claude
Claude excels in processing long documents and maintaining excellent context understanding and retention in extended dialogues. It is praised for specializing in practical writing tasks such as composing essays and blog posts.
Moreover, designed with a strong emphasis on ethical concerns, Claude comes equipped with detailed safeguards and regulations to prevent the generation of harmful content.
However, it does not support image generation and, due to considerations of privacy and response reliability, does not provide internet-based search capabilities (as of July 2024).
