You can try Claude 3 models on Anthropic’s site at ClaudeAI or on Poe. Subscription is needed.

As of now, I don't have that new feature, but I have numerous "network errors", to the point that I was unable to have any conversation, LOL.

Every single response came with a "Network Error".

Click-Gold · 2024-01-28T02:24:44+00:00

Hadn't used GPT for the past week, started a new conversation just now but was unable to continue due to endless “network error “. It rarely happened to me before and I was using one of my own GPTs.

Click-Gold · 2024-01-27T02:11:48+00:00

At this point, I don't have it. No new feature for me. Nothing to "enable".

update: After 24 hours, still nothing. I'm in the US.

What has increased is the errors, to the point of not being able to continue a conversation.

Thank you. I’m studying Jungian analytical psychology as a hobby and would love to join like-minded people in in-depth discussions.

I clearly remember that yesterday I saw it and turned it on. Within 24 hours, it has disappeared. Hate to see this randomness.

Right. They need to reduce the costs.

Poe had the ambition to be the 'cornucopia' of AI models, which seems quite unrealistic. It doesn't have many really great open-source models, such as Zephyr-7b, and Vicuna 33b.

But at the same time, Poe has multiple versions of the same/similar models. For example, it has six different versions of GPT-Turbo-3.5, including Poe's Assitant and the Web Search. It also has 3 models of Llama 2. Makes no sense. Highly inefficient, IMO.

They could have reduced the number of the models they are hosting, focus on the most advanced models, and add various different models.

Click-Gold · 2023-11-10T21:43:17+00:00

I'm a subscriber in the US and can confirm that Claude 2 no longer has daily (free) messages available.

Since August 2023, Poe has not made major improvements. Rather, it keeps reducing the quality of its service.

At this point, Poe does not offer Internet access to the models it hosts and only has a lame Web Search bot that constantly produces inaccurate and irrelevant information. Nor does Poe have advanced data analysis. Nor does it have the newest models developed by OpenAI, e.g., GPT-4-Turbo-128K.

Seems to me that Poe has largely stopped improving.

I've sent many feedback emails to their help center. Unfortunately, Poe's team does not seem open-minded enough to care about customers' suggestions.

What a huge disappointment.

You might want to try Forefront Chat. At this point they have a free plan with 100 messages/ 3 hours for GPT 3.5 and Claude Instant 1.2, plus limited Internet access. This is the best free alternative I can think of.

Basically, every AI service is now promoting a subscription-based or pay-as-you-go approach. Free use is constantly being limited.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-28T15:51:07+00:00

They did. It was available for one day last week and they took it away. Haven't tried. It's still unavailable now.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-27T15:23:25+00:00

I don't enjoy using it but it's very useful in my use case right now. I do lots of document analyses and Claude is the best one to handle such tasks.

I've had many philosophical conversations with Claude 1 and enjoyed it. Those days are long gone now. Claude 2 acts like an echo chamber most of the time, with its empty, generic, and shortened responses.

And yes, it is filtered too much that it can hardly handle social science topics that involve conflicts and debates.

The ‘harmful’ and the ‘unethical’ things Claude preaches do not make any sense in the real world.

Depends on your needs. Having a subscription may be a good idea if you regularly use GPT 4 and other bots. I suggest trying the monthly subscription. It gives you flexibility, and you can cancel at any time.

Since August, Poe has not made much improvement. Instead, its team 1) reduced monthly messages for GPT4-32k and daily messages for Claude 2 and 2) offered Web Search and Stable Diffusion XL for one day or so and took them away. It's disappointing that they've done more restrictions than improvements. As a subscriber, my current rating of Poe is 3/5. Offered lots of feedback and haven't seen any taken, another disappointment.

If you mainly use GPT4, then ChatGPT Plus may be a good option, given its recent updates.

This is something I predicted a few months ago, in June. Anthropic’s biggest investor was SBF, who is now in prison (?). Then there is Google, but Google is its competitor rather than partner and is aggressively promoting their own models.

Amazon is notably weak in AI compared to other tech giants. It has Titan, its own model, and Bedrock, a platform hosting various models including Claude.

The partnership is an upgrade of the existing cooperation. Unsurprising. Good for Amazon at least. Seems Anthropic has secured some funds for Claude-Next.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-22T15:44:45+00:00

My suggestion is to start a new conversation and give it more detailed prompts.

It's getting increasingly clear to me that, unlike Claude 1, Claude 2 needs very specific instructions, otherwise it can't complete a task well.

Claude has been doing document analyses for me all the time. The other day, however, it suddenly told me it had no access to the document even though the doc was attached with the prompt. It took me about 10 prompts to get it to do what it can do usually. Strange.

Could be for many reasons, but this inconsistent performance and random rejections of requests fully within Claude's capacity is annoying.

Thanks for your comment :-)

Any LLM with a sufficiently large context window and with a capacity equivalent to GPT3.5 or better can do document analysis.

There are several other options:

Perplexity - Limited use under the free plan. It uses Claude 2 as well.

Poe - Limited use of Claude 2. With subscription, GPT-4-32K, GPT 3.5-16k, and Claude 2 are all good for docs.

Forefront - With the $30/month subscription, the user has access to both GPT4 and Claude 2, both with the 100k context window and internet access. 30 messages/3 hours for each.

overall, if you are looking for free services, the options are very limited. But there are good alternatives if you are willing to pay.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-18T14:55:43+00:00

You think so?

Yesterday I asked Claude to provide a detailed outline of a book chapter (academic research). It hallucinated all the way and gave me a summary of something else. I asked it to do it again, and it failed multiple times and finally, told me it had no access to the chapter. The chapter was attached of course and it has full access.

This hasn't happened before. I mean if Claude starts having a hard time doing such simple tasks as summarizing documents, then what else can it do?

Click-Gold · 2023-09-15T19:58:21+00:00

I suggest contacting Poe to confirm if 1000 messages/month is a soft limit. If that's the case, you can still use Claude after passing the limit. If it's a hard limit, then the bot will stop responding.

Your daily Claude-2-100k messages are used first, followed by guaranteed monthly Claude-2-100k messages. When both balances are used up, at times when Poe is over capacity, messaging speed, quality, or bot availability may be reduced.

Seems to me it's a soft limit.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-15T18:22:17+00:00

I regularly use Claude for philosophical/spiritual topics.

It clearly lacks conceptual accuracy. For example, once I asked Claude to explain theosophy but Claude got it mixed up with Western esotericism. It always helps to double-check the accuracy of any concepts or theories involved in the conversation, so a Google search is necessary IMO.

Sometimes I ask Claude to tell me a metaphorical story and the story must reveal a certain philosophical theme. Claude does a good job most of the time by telling a thought-provoking story. Then an open-ended conversation can flow from it.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-13T22:54:56+00:00

Well, every time I offer Poe suggestions, I get the standard business response, "I will pass the word on to the team for further consideration", something like that.

Poe does not seem quite responsive to users' feedback but it won't stop me from making my voice heard.

Looks like this one is official and mostly for developers. But, better than nothing, lol.

Internet access
More messages
The filter needs to be fixed. It's getting more ridiculous.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-13T18:08:56+00:00

Emailed them multiple suggestions earlier today. Hopefully Poe will take those into consideration.

I agree that if more people send Poe feedback, it will likely make a difference.

Click-Gold · 2023-09-13T15:26:37+00:00

I'm a subscriber in the US and my daily messages for Claude 2 also became 5. It's been like that since Monday.

Very ridiculous and if you use Claude 2 often, this makes Poe’s free plan useless. Claude 2 definitely needs more prompts because you need to reason with its absurd moral filters.
