With the Sonnet model from Anthropic, I would like to highlight a key difference between OpenAI and Anthropic. Recently, the new release from Anthropic confirmed my observation:
- Anthropic allows all users, including free ones, to access the latest model, both the previous Sonnet and the upgraded version. This approach is commendable and effectively attracts more users.
- In contrast, OpenAI restricts access to their latest model behind a paywall.
While criticism of OpenAI is often muted, I personally prefer Anthropic as a user.
