Title is a bit dramatic, but yes, Claude 3 claims to be better than GPT 4 in most ways.

The sonnet model is decent, but something weird is going on with their opus model as it just terribly sucks.

Mistral-large is probably the best large model for practical purposes at this point.

Mistral-large is probably the best large model for practical purposes at this point.

What makes you say that? I have not performed my own comparison, but everything I have seen and read suggests that GPT4 is king, currently.

It depends on the task, but in general a lot of the models have fallen into a dark pattern of Goodhart's Law, targeting the benchmarks but suffering at other things.

So as an example, while GPT-4 used to correctly model variations of the wolf, goat, cabbage problem with token similarity hacks (i.e. using emojis instead of nouns to break pattern similarity with the standard form of the question), now it even fails for that with the most recent updates, whereas mistral-large is the only one that doesn't need the hack at all.

Interesting. That's not something I've heard about until now, but something I'll surely look into.
