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.
