Hi HN, since the hype with GH's copilot using claude 3.5 sonnet, I think I need a guide on how to best utilize these AI. Are there any diagram, or advices on which one to use? are there any cases which encourage to use one better than the others? Thanks

    Any guide would probably be outdated in a month, unfortunately.

    It does seem like Claude is currently slightly ahead of ChatGPT, especially when it comes to to technical stuff. But will it still be ahead next week? Who knows.

    A more optimistic way of looking at it is that all of these tools are quite useful if you use them well, and pretty much all are better than what existed at all two years ago. So pick one that works for you and don't exhaust yourself trying to figure out what's currently "best".

    I use a local server with ollama and llama 3.1 uncensored (8b). With OpenWebUI I get search engine integration, python tools and many others. I don't have to share any data with big tech and I can ask it whatever I want without censorship for e.g. sexual topics.

    For me it's so much better than ChatGPT. Despite not being as good an LLM model, it's just much more useful.

    I wrote chatcraft.org for dev and mobile use cases. It can run code for validation does voice input. Anthropic is the first ui that's end competitive, aider is another interesting one. Special trick in chatcraft is that it allows using very advanced models for free without any signups and logins

    There are LLM leaderboards for different use-cases. https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmarena-ai/chatbot-arena-leade...
