Claude 3 outperforms GPT-4, could spell trouble for Microsoft and Azure

Anthropic has developed a new model called Claude 3, and it’s already better than GPT-4 in almost every regard.

This could be a problem for Microsoft Azure, especially if the company doesn’t respond with a new AI model.

Claude 3 can be a problem for Microsoft Azure, and here’s why

For a long time, Microsoft and GPT-4 dominated the AI market, but that might soon change according to Analytics India Magazine.

We already wrote how Claude 3 surpasses all other AIs on the market and dominates GPT-4 in MMLU and HumanEval benchmarks.

This technology is already being used by Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI Model Garden in private preview.

It’s important to mention that Claude 3 can process images which allows it to analyze charts, graphs, reports, and other visual elements with ease.

On the other hand, Microsoft and Google working on smaller language models, such as Phi-2 and Gemma that can’t compete with Claude.

In the past, Microsoft teamed up with Mistral AI to bring Mistral Large on Azure as MaaS and Azure Machine Learning model.

However, that was before Claude 3 dropped and outperformed both Mistral AI and GPT-4. Google is also on the offensive and Claude 2 and Gemini 1.5 offer a context window of 1 million tokens, which is almost 10 times more than GPT-4 Turbo.

Mind you, that’s Claude 2, and we can’t wait to see what Google will come up with after utilizing Claude 3. It remains to be seen what will Microsoft do regarding the release of Claude 3, and hopefully, GPT-5 will help it stay in the race.

This might not be as easy, since Microsoft and Open AI are sued for copyright infringement and there are also claims that OpenAI is contributing to election disinformation. All this trouble could potentially delay GPT-5.

What will happen with Microsoft and its AI, remains to be seen, so stay tuned for the latest news.
