As a counter point, I've been actively assessing feasibility of migrating my experiments to Claude with not much success. Trying to migrate prompts from GPT 4 to Claude often yields half-baked results. Claude seems to require a lot more handholding to get the desired result.

In my information extraction prompts Claude is about as good as GPT-3.5 but slower. Its only advantage over OpenAI is context length. GPT-4 is better, 3.5 is faster.

But I am using it often to chat with PDFs and it works great for that. I would not want to give this ability up.

Side note: this would get you a crackpot moniker a year ago. Chat with pdfs? Dude what are you smoking I need some too.

Perfectly normal today, in fact if you aren’t doing that you’re falling behind.
