      I always forget about Claude. How does it compare to chatgpt. Maybe I should switch to it for some time to see.

        Depends what you’re doing.

        4o is way better at analytical work. Think big datasets and statistics. It’ll provide the Python it used for analysis so you can double check.

        Claude is far superior for more challenging development tasks. For example I found ChatGPT pretty useless for a lot of Scala troubleshooting and rubber ducking.

        Claude 3.5 Sonnet is much better though far from error free. Also not free if I remember correctly.

        Both get stuck in weird loops, make stuff up and leave things out when taken at face value.

        Ultimately they have their own strengths and either can be a force multiplier.

        Limits on the free usage tier but the answers I get from it are usually much more useful to start.
