This week was a big one for AI nerds. Some of the biggest names in technology showcased their latest and greatest creations in natural language generation, the technology that powers many of the new chatbots and text generators. Google released a bunch of new products for Workspace that use generative AI to make your work life easier. OpenAI released GPT-4, its newest and most impressive language model. And Anthropic, a stealthy startup led by former OpenAI researcher Dario Amodei, introduced Claude, a chatbot that wants to be better and more ethical than ChatGPT.
But how can you get your hands on these new AI technologies and see for yourself what they can do? You can sign up for their respective platforms and wait for access, or you can try them all at once with Poe, a new Quora app that lets you chat with different AI personalities in one place.
Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo quietly announced Tuesday that the company is launching Poe subscriptions, which will give users access to bots based on two of the most advanced language models ever created: OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Anthropic’s Claude+.
“Initially, we’re giving all Poe users the ability to send 1 free message per day to both GPT-4 and Claude+,” D’Angelo said in a post. cheep. “Other bots on Poe, including those based on ChatGPT and Claude, will continue to be free for unlimited use.”
Poe is available to use for free (download it here), but the paid tier is $9.99 per month and will give you access to both GPT-4 and Claude+. This is a fantastic deal because OpenAI charges $20 just for ChatGPT Plus, which would only give you access to GPT-4. More importantly, Poe is currently the only consumer Internet product with Claude or Claude+ available at this time.

Poe is not only a fun way to try out new chatbots, but a valuable tool for learning new things and exploring different perspectives.
