Quora’s Poe is launching subscriptions to let you chat with GPT-4-powered bot

Yesterday, OpenAI unveiled its new GPT-4 mannequin and competitor Anthropic unveiled its personal ChatGPT competitor, Claude. Parallelly, Quora introduced that its chatbot app Poe will now have a paid tier that can allow you to ask inquiries to bots powered by these fashions.

Poe subscriptions will set you again $19.99 monthly or $199.99 per yr, and you’ll solely purchase it for the time being out of your iOS or Apple Silicon-powered Mac. The corporate is engaged on making the paid plan out there to buy on the net.

Quora first launched Poe final December as a closed beta and later opened it as much as all iOS customers final month.

Quora’s CEO Adam D’Angelo stated in a Twitter thread that paying customers can chat with bots powered by GPT-4 and Claude+ (model 1.2). Sadly, the paid tier doesn’t permit you to ask limitless questions with these fashions. Poe caps the utilization to 300 GPT-4 and 1,000 Claude 1.2 messages monthly. The service stated that when a consumer reaches the month-to-month restrict, “bot availability or high quality could also be decreased.”

In the intervening time, free customers can even take a look at and ask these fashions one query per day with none price. D’Angelo stated that customers can have limitless interactions with different bots like ChatGPT, Claude, Sage and Dragonfly. Poe describes these fashions to have totally different roles and options. Here’s what the corporate says about these bots:

• • Claude tends to be higher at many artistic writing duties, however it’s extra more likely to refuse to reply questions.
  • Claude+ is considerably higher than Claude, particularly in non-English languages. In English, it generates extra in-depth solutions than Claude, as nicely.
  • Sage and ChatGPT are typically higher at languages apart from English, and are higher at programming-related duties.
  • Dragonfly tends to have shorter responses, and it may be simpler to get Dragonfly to observe directions when given examples within the enter.
  • GPT-4 is a significant advance relative to ChatGPT and is probably the most highly effective language mannequin out there to the world right now. It’s significantly robust at artistic writing, problem-solving (e.g. math and physics) and instruction following.

Notably, fashions like Sage and Claude don’t have data of occasions post-2021 and Dragonfly may refuse to reply some questions. If you begin a dialog with a bot, the app reveals you a warning saying that it’d make incorrect statements so that you simply don’t take the solutions at their face worth. These are some safeguards towards manipulating bots into saying problematic or incorrect issues.

At present, Quora and Poe usually are not straight related. However final month, the corporate stated that if Poe’s generated content material meet sure benchmarks, its solutions could possibly be distributed on the Q&A platform with greater than 400 million month-to-month customers.

Together with Poe, Duolingo additionally introduced a GPT-4-powered subscription that permits an AI-based tutor to study languages. Microsoft additionally broke its vow of silence and confirmed that Bing was using GPT-4 all along. Plus, the Bing chat now has an elevated day by day restrict of 150 messages. Khan Academy stated it’s testing an AI assistant that can assist academics with administrative duties as a educating assistant. However, college students can reap the benefits of it to get assist with math and counsel concepts for tales.

Provided that OpenAI and Anthropic simply made bulletins about new bots, we could have extra client purposes adopting this expertise.
