For about $7 more than ChatGPT-Plus, Poe gives you GPT-4 plus other models like Claude-2-100k and StableDiffusionXL image creators plus the ability to make and monetise your own bots.<p>Seems a bit redundant to subscribe to ChatGPT-Plus for GPT-4 and extensions (which are poorly maintained, hard to use, and often broken) when Poe offers more.
Poe is owned by Quora, make of that what you will.<p>It is easier to get the images you want with ChatGPT and Dalle. Plus ChatGPT comes with the analytics tool.<p>Personal opinion but SDXL is not the greatest right out of the box as a text to image gen when compared to Midjourney or Dalle3. StableDiffusion shines when used with other tools like controlnet or image to image.<p>So it all depends on your use case.
If you're using ChatGPT Plus only for GPT-4, you can get it cheaper via the API. I use it quite a bit - doing PRs, writing code, stories, hackathons, asking step by step instructions on how to do things. It cost me $3 last month.<p>You can use the OpenAI playground, build your own chat interface, ask GPT to build it for you, but I just use Chatblade: <a href="https://github.com/npiv/chatblade">https://github.com/npiv/chatblade</a>
I hadn't heard of this website. Is there a page that describes what it does? When I navigate to poe.com, it just wants me to enter my email address and make an account, and I'd like to learn about what it can do first.
poe.com tells me absolutely nothing, it's an email field and a "go" button preceded by the phrase "fast, helpful AI chat". That's the entire website.
I used poe initially, as I was on the wait list for gpt-4 (or plus or whatever it was called) and the UI was utter garbage, couldn’t copy paste code, only had an iOS app.<p>Then went for a real OpenAI subscription and finally now use it via my kagi ultimate subscription..<p>Personal preference ofc, but having used all three: OpenAI’s ui is the best, kagi is the better value, and I would avoid poe…
I'm guessing that Poe.com uses the GPT4 api - I struggled to get similar quality answers from GPT4 api vs their web interface. A google wasn't very helpful, suggesting using a temperature of 0.7 and a custom prompt.<p>Mostly I wanted to use GPT4 api via the terminal on chunks of text, but was not able to get the same quality as the UI.<p>I'm open to suggestions
Poe is a platform that lets people ask questions, get instant answers, and have back-and-forth conversations with a wide variety of AI-powered bots. It is available on iOS, Android, MacOS and web.<p>The AI on Poe is powered by models from several sources, trained by different companies. Those different models are optimized for different tasks, represent different points of view, or have access to different knowledge. Some models are fine-tuned versions of models created by others.<p>Poe currently supports ChatGPT and GPT-4 from OpenAI, Claude Instant and Claude 2 from Anthropic, StableDiffusionXL from Stable Diffusion XL, PaLM from Google, Llama 2 from Meta, and many other bots created by the community.<p>Source: <a href="https://poe.com/about" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://poe.com/about</a>
I loaded Poe on my phone before heading to Europe this summer. I found it extremely useful finding popular restaurants with the locals that weren't in the guidebooks. If you were looking for niche locations like antique car museums or anything amateur radio related it was hit or miss.
Im building baarilliant.ai (you can signup for, early preview) works with OpenAi, Anthropic and Llama, Mistral and StableDiffusion via fireworks, you can also edit, save in app and as .md, share and experiment with Prompts and Functions. ShowHN coming soon.
Both procedural text and image generators are filled with inaccuracies. Not surprising given the nature of this type of technology. But poe does seem to be more user friendly, and it’s not as controversial as openai.
