Top 4 AI Assistants Compared
The Battle of the AI Assistants: ChatGPT-4 vs Claude 2 vs Bard vs LLaMA 2
Which free or low-cost AI tool is right for you?
AI assistants are taking the world by storm, with new models being released at a rapid pace. As a user, how do you decide which one to use? I tested out the four most talked-about assistants — OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4, Anthropic’s Claude 2, Google’s Bard, and Meta’s LLaMA 2 — on a variety of tasks to help you determine the right fit.
Note there is a free version of ChatGPT, but it does not include plugins or Code Interpreter, limiting its ability to access the web or complete some of the tasks below.
Price
- ChatGPT-4: Requires a £20/month subscription for full functionality
- Claude, Bard, and LLaMA 2: All free to use
For light or occasional use, the free tools may be sufficient, but frequent users will get more value from ChatGPT-4’s higher limits and web capabilities.
Web Browsing
- ChatGPT-4: Can read content directly from a web page URL via community-built plugins
- Bard: Can read content directly from a web page URL utilising Google Search
