ChatGPT无法访问？来，免费试试它的竞争对手Claude

Claude, a competitor to OpenAI's GPT-3.5, is currently available for free use without the intermittent connectivity issues that ChatGPT faces. It does not require a VPN for access, and its features are comparable to those of GPT-3.5.

Claude and Anthropic

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, was founded by a group of former OpenAI core employees who left due to concerns over the increasing opaqueness and utilitarian trend of OpenAI. They prioritized AI safety and explainability, believing these to be critical as artificial general intelligence (AGI) draws closer. Anthropic has raised significant funds, including $124 million in Series A financing, with investments from tech luminaries such as Skype's Jan Tallinn, Google's Eric Schmidt, and Apple's Dustin Moskovitz.

Introducing Claude

Claude, developed by Anthropic, is an AI system designed to be useful, honest, and harmless. As a beta application built on Slack, Claude offers functionalities like summarizing discussions, answering questions, and turning conversations into structured data. It can also generate insights by summarizing lengthy discussions or complex web content, supporting users with specific action items, and facilitating brainstorming sessions.

How to Register and Use Claude

To use Claude, one must first register a Slack account and create a workspace. Then, by visiting Anthropic's website and adding Claude to Slack, users can complete the authentication process for free. Once in Slack, the Claude app will appear in the menu, and after accepting the terms, users can interact with Claude for various tasks, such as comparing with ChatGPT or writing code. However, like ChatGPT, Claude cannot access the internet in real-time. Based on personal use, Claude is on par with ChatGPT 3.5 but slightly behind GPT-4.
