Is Claude 3.5 Sonnet Better Than OpenAI's GPT-4o?

In the latest episode of AI Rising podcast, hosts Leslie D'Monte and Jayanth N Kolla delve into the latest AI developments. They discuss Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's former chief scientist, who is venturing out to establish his own AI company, Safe Superintelligence. This move follows the attempt to unseat CEO Sam Altman in November last year.

The hosts also discuss Anthropic's latest marvel, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which has rapidly outpaced rivals like OpenAI's GPT-4o, Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Meta's LlaMA-400b in both speed and performance, showcasing the relentless competition among tech giants to dominate AI innovation. Jayanth points out how the leaderboard will keep shifting as better and better LLM models are launched.

The hosts also discuss how businessman Steve Endacott is campaigning in Britain's national election with an AI-generated avatar, “AI Steve,” as the face of his independent candidacy. His initiative to introduce more AI candidates sets a new precedent in the intersection of technology and politics.

We also delve into the latest insights from IBM's 2024 CEO study, revealing that 59% of CEOs believe competitive advantage hinges on advanced generative AI, with 72% viewing industry disruption as a risk rather than an opportunity. The survey underscores the necessity for companies to adapt their business strategies to stay ahead in a rapidly changing market.

Tune in as we explore cutting-edge developments and their implications for the future of AI and beyond.
