- CamperBob2 3y agoThe impression I got from the videos is that CI is already capable of outperforming Alpha, at least in some respects. There's a Wolfram Alpha plugin, but CI seemed to return better results. As I understand it, Mathematica is more or less a client-side Alpha at this point, and vice versa.
- krackers 3y ago>Mathematica is more or less a client-side Alpha at this point They're not really comparable. Wolfram Alpha exposes a small fraction of the symbolic/numeric algorithms Mathematica has, and the reasons why someone would choose Mathematica over e.g. SymPy+NumPy won't really change with LLMs in the mix. If anything, in the age of LLM generated code, Mathematica might even have an advantage over the others because of how concise and uniform the language is, and Wolfram has already shown interest in integrating with chatGPT. I don't see Mathworks really being affected either, since as I understand most of their money is made via the proprietary toolkits (otherwise someone could just use Octave). Tableau is probably toast though.
