Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus has knocked OpenAI’s GPT-4 off the top of the chatbot leaderboard for the first time.

According to the Chatbot Arena Leaderboard, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus has taken the top spot from OpenAI’s GPT-4 for the first time. Claude 3 Opus now ranks first based on how real people rate chatbot skills. GPT-4 has been pushed down to second place.

The Chatbot Arena is a benchmark platform created by the Large Model System Organization (LMSYS) to compare the performance of large language models. The Arena pits different models against each other in secret, randomized battles. Users rate the models and vote for the answer they like best. This makes the rankings very useful because they are based on what users prefer.

Working memory (WM) is a kind of advanced cognitive function, which requires the participation and cooperation of multiple brain regions. Hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are the main responsible brain regions for WM. Exploring information coordination between hippocampus and prefrontal cortex during WM is a frontier problem in cognitive neuroscience. In this paper, an advanced information theory analysis based on bimodal neural electrical signals (local field potentials, LFPs and spikes) was employed to characterize the transcerebral information coordination across the two brain regions. Firstly, LFPs and spikes were recorded simultaneously from rat hippocampus and prefrontal cortex during the WM task by using multi-channel in vivo recording technique. Then, from the perspective of information theory, directional hippocampus-prefrontal cortex networks were constructed by using transfer entropy algorithm based on spectral coherence between LFPs and spikes. Finally, transcerebral coordination of bimodal information at the brain-network level was investigated during acquisition and performance of the WM task. The results show that the transfer entropy in directional hippocampus-prefrontal cortex networks is related to the acquisition and performance of WM. During the acquisition of WM, the information flow, local information transmission ability and information transmission efficiency of the directional hippocampus-prefrontal networks increase over learning days. During the performance of WM, the transfer entropy from the hippocampus to prefrontal cortex plays a leading role for bimodal information coordination across brain regions and hippocampus has a driving effect on prefrontal cortex. Furthermore, bimodal information coordination in the hippocampus → prefrontal cortex network could predict WM during the successful performance of WM.
