- netsec_burn 2y agoHave you tried 3 Opus or 3.5 Sonnet? Are you using it for programming, or something else?
- stuckinhell 2y agoeverything really. just opus so far
- simonw 2y agoPersonal prompting style, I imagine,
- Workaccount2 2y agoPeople really, really, underestimate how important prompting is. I would be confident in stating that half the people who complain about a model are actually just suffering from poor prompting.
- SSLy 2y agoare non-snake oil prompting techniques described anywhere?
- simonw 2y agoThose are hard to come by, but the Anthropic prompting documentation is a pretty great source: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/be-clear-and-direct https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-...
- prng2021 2y agoAnd what makes you so confident that all those people are using different prompt styles when comparing models? You think most people don’t even understand the bare basics of how to compare two products?
- simonw 2y agoThat's the point: maybe someone has a personal prompting style that works great with Claude but gives worse results with GPT-4. They might complain that GPT-4 is rubbish in comparison to Claude, but someone with a different personal prompting style might experience the opposite.
- prng2021 2y agoAh, I see. I’d be interested to see a study on that. I find it hard to believe it would make such a stark difference but it’s possible.
- wiether 2y agoHaving a prompting style that works with a model but not quite with another is much different than "suffering from poor prompting" the previous person was accusing others. And given that those are tools, it's more like "the model can work with the user's prompts" rather than "the user's prompts are adapted to the model". Unless we're here for an ego trip.
