OpenAI co-founder John Schulman said in a Monday X post that he would leave the Microsoft-backed company and join Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup with funding from Amazon.<\/p>

The move comes less than three months after OpenAI disbanded a superalignment team that focused on trying to ensure that people can control AI systems that exceed human capability at many tasks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Claude, the AI chatbot made by Anthropic, now has a desktop app. You can download the Mac and Windows versions of the app from Anthropic’s website<\/a> for free.<\/p>

Last week, Anthropic released its “computer use” feature<\/a> in public beta, which allows the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model<\/a> to control a computer by looking at a screen, moving the cursor, clicking buttons, and entering text. This capability isn’t available within the app, however.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Big miss from Anthropic releasing a super clunky macOS electron app that feels like a bad wrapper of their website. Very weird non-standard UI all over, choppy and sloppy animations.<\/p>

OpenAI is really leagues ahead in making good apps (+ has ChatGPT Search rolling out today)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

There’s much talk that Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 has pulled ahead of OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4o in terms of chatbot “intelligence”, but as an overall experience ChatGPT wins hands-down. For one thing ChatGPT has been able to search the web for answers for a while now, and it works great. For another, just today OpenAI launched ChatGPT’s dedicated “search” mode<\/a>. Claude has nothing like it.<\/p>

ChatGPT’s native Mac app<\/a>, on the other hand, is a truly native Mac app. It looks like a Mac app and feels like a Mac app because it really is a Mac app.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
