ChatGPT’s chatbot rival Claude coming to iPhone
TechLife ReportOpenAI’s ChatGPT is facing serious competition, as the company’s rival Anthropic brings its Claude chatbot to iPhones.Anthropic, led by a group of former OpenAI staff who quit over differences with chief executive Sam Altman, have a product that already beats ChatGPT on some measures of intelligence, and now wants to win over everyday users, reports the Guardian.“In today’s world, smartphones are at the centre of how people interact with technology. To make Claude a true AI assistant, it’s crucial that we meet users where they are – and in many cases, that’s on their mobile devices,” said Scott White at Anthropic.“We’re putting the power of Claude directly into people’s hands. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about integrating Claude into the fabric of our daily lives.”The third version of the Claude large language model is offered direct to users on its website in three flavours: a speedy and simple model called “haiku”, a slower and more powerful model called “sonnet”, and, for paying customers only, the full “opus” system.It is that system that took the lead in the LMSys chatbot ranking, becoming the first AI to knock GPT-4 out of pole position, and it also made headlines for its enormous “context window” – a measure of how much of a conversation it can keep in mind at any one time. Opus can hold about 160,000 words, enough for a user to paste in a weighty novel and ask follow-up questions.Until now, though, ChatGPT has faced little competition on users’ devices. OpenAI first released its iOS app in May last year, and it remains one of the few frontier AI models with an accessible consumer app.Anthropic says the Claude app will allow it to bring new features to users, beyond simple ease of use. “For example, the Claude iOS app can, with a user’s consent, access the device’s camera and photo library,” White said.“After a meeting, a business user could snap a photo of a whiteboard diagram and ask Claude to summarise the key points, making it easier to share and act upon important information. Similarly, a consumer could take a picture of a plant they encounter on a hike and ask Claude to identify the species and provide more information about its characteristics and habitat.”Alongside the iOS app, the company is also boosting its business offering, with a “team” plan that lets corporate customers buy chatbot access for their entire staff.“We started Anthropic to lead the frontier of AI safety and research. That isn’t something you can do in the abstract. We don’t think we’d be able to positively influence the industry’s trajectory and inspire a race to the top on AI safety if we weren’t able to compete at the frontier,” White said.That competition appears to be having an effect on the market leader. On Wednesday, OpenAI changed its policies to allow users to access their entire ChatGPT history, without needing to opt in to allowing the company to train on their conversations as a quid pro quo.

This game is said to have an immense guide when contrasted with GTA V.Doom EternalPlatform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRelease date: March 20, 2020Doom Eternal is another best up and coming round of 2020 that has grabbed the eye of gamers including me! Can’t be described how it feels after at its E3 gameplay? This game looks more frenzied and gore-filled then the Doom 2016! What is more, this time... Essential location has been set to earth. There will be disintegrated skyscrapers, sickly orange sky, and incredible evil spirits meandering everywhere. Simply try to keep your firearms stacked constantly!The Last of Us 2Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, SwitchRelease date: May 29, 2020Naughty Dog has debuted a new trailer for The Last of Us 2, and as you might expect it is suitably tense. While there are appearances by the infected, many of the trailers deal with violence between ordinary people, and it looks like it is taking an emotional toll on Ellie. In the trailer, we see how the years of hardship and survival have affected Ellie, who is covered in scars and cuts on her back and has turned into a formidable fighter. She interacts with Joel on several occasions in the trailer and sees some truly gruesome imagery. This includes a body riddled with arrows, as well as several people suspended from nooses in a shopping mall. Ellie is no stranger to violence, herself, attacking someone off-screen with a melee weapon as the trailer cuts to black.Animal Crossing: New HorizonsPlatform(s): SwitchRelease date: March 20, 2020Ah, Animal Crossing. Folks have been dreaming about a new entry in the adorably gentle little life sim since New The leaf floated onto the 3D. Thankfully Nintendo answered all our prayers when they finally announced a new adventure by the name of Animal Crossing: New Horizons that's set to make its way to the Switch in 2020. And it already looks amazing. Set on a deserted tropical island, you get yourself the Nook Inc Getaway package and aboard a plane to go on the best long-term vacation. With crafting, oodles of customization, and so many new features coming to the world of Animal Crossing, we can't wait to reunite with Tom Nook and Isabelle.Persona 5 RoyalPlatform(s): PS4Release date: March 31, 2020The Phantom Thieves are coming back in full swing for another round of Persona goodness with what is kind of like an enhanced edition of Persona 5, with plenty of extra content. Royal introduces an entire new semester, a new area, new characters, and an additional story arc. If you held off from tucking into the excellent adventure the first time around, Royal is the perfect excuse to dive in. It is also a good reason to have your heart stolen by the Phantom Thieves all over again.Half-Life: AlyxPlatform(s): PC (potentially console)Release date: March 2020First time around, Royal is the perfect excuse to dive in. It's also a good reason to have your heart stolen by the Phantom Thieves all over again. Yes, that is right. A new Half-Life game is coming out in 2020. This time around Valve is taking Half-Life into the world of VR. Set between the events of the Half-Life and Half-Life 2, you will be playing as Alyx Vance who just so happens to have the fate of humanity resting on their shoulders, no pressure. As part of growing resistance, you must try and take on an alien race known as the Combine and keep humanity alive. Valve has revealed it will involve "puzzle-solving, deep environmental interactions, and visceral combat."Resident Evil 3 RemakePlatform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox OneRelease date: April 3, 2020Yes, it is official: Capcom is releasing a remake of Resident Evil 3 and will reunite us with Jill Valentine and Carlos Olivera. Oh, and the horrific villain Nemesis. The Resident Evil 2 Remake was one of the best recent releases, and if it is anything to go by, the return of 3 will take us on another updated zombie-infested fright fest. It will be great to see the new take on the original 1999 release. When it was revealed at a recent State of Play, it was announced that 3 will also include the multiplayer spin-off Project Resistance to boot.Wasteland 3Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PCRelease date: May 19, 2020Set in the post-apocalyptic frozen lands of Colorado, Wasteland 3 looks like a fantastic tactical RPG to tuck into with your pals. Available to play entirely solo or in co-op, the third entry in the Wasteland series is a story-driven experience where your choices will matter. Every decision you make can offer you new opportunities or close you off to them, as well as take you to new areas and lead you to different story arcs. This choice and variety make it sound very replayable, and the setting is set to present you with some difficult moral choices as you decide how to lead in the frozen wastes. This is one to watch, especially since InXhile has been working to evolve the series' turn-based combat and will also include a new dialogue system and fully voice-acted characters to add to the immersive RPG side of the experience.Witcher 3Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PCRelease date: May 19, 2020The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is, hands down, a technical masterpiece by CD Project Red. Released in 2015, this game brought a lot of gamers the gaming experience we all needed. And that is slaying monsters in a vast world consisting of six regions each with varying population, quests, activities, landscapes, soundtracks, characters, and more. Witcher 3 brings us the RPG experience we all needed. The very first of the multiple positive things in this game that comes to one's mind, is the beautifully composed soundtracks that feature the game. This game consists of more than 50 soundtracks, each compiling with combat, cutscenes, moments, and hunting. The main theme is one of the best soundtracks any game has ever had in gaming history.Ori and the Will of the WispsPlatform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PCRelease date: March 11, 2020Ori and the Will of the Wisps are by turns graceful and frustrating. Mostly like the first entry in the series, landscapes are now even more vibrant and colorful. Elements that make the game bigger than its predecessor, like a charming town-building subplot, are unobtrusive and welcome. With that expanded scope come debilitating bugs, though, which made speeding through the game for review more difficult. Frame rate stutter, animation glitches, and crashes plagued my experience with Ori and the Will of the Wisps. A day-one patch released to address these issues fixed the stutter but not all of the crashes on my Xbox One.
