In this article we will list Top 5 AI tools in 2023 (editor’s choice). They are:
- ChatGPT
- Midjourney
- Claude AI
- Llama 2
- Runway AI
1. ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a product of OpenAI’s GPT series. It’s designed to generate human-like text based on the input it receives. The GPT models are trained on vast amounts of text from the internet which allows them to produce contextually relevant and coherent responses. They utilize a structure called transformers, which excel at understanding context in long sequences of data.
The popularity of ChatGPT stems from its ability to understand and generate diverse and complex text that feels human-like. It can converse, write essays, create stories, answer questions, and much more. This versatility is unmatched by previous AI models. Its innovative design represents a significant leap in AI’s capacity to interact in natural language, making it a groundbreaking tool in various applications, from chatbots to content creation.
As of August 2023 latest version of GPT model used in ChatGPT is GPT-4. But OpenAI has been working ono ChatGPT-5 which expected to be be released in Q4 2023
2. Midjourney
Midjourney stands as a prominent generative AI capable of transforming text prompts into visual images. While there are numerous machine learning-driven image generators surfacing recently, Midjourney has claimed its spot amongst top AI contenders like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion.
Using Midjourney, users can craft high-quality images from mere textual prompts. It operates seamlessly without necessitating any specific hardware or software, functioning purely via the Discord chat application. However, there’s a catch: to commence image generation, one has to incur some initial costs. This is in contrast to many of its competitors, which often offer some free image generations.
3. Claude AI
Claude AI is a cutting-edge AI assistant, a product of Anthropic’s endeavors to craft AI systems that are beneficial, truthful, and safe. Available via a chat interface and a developer console API, Claude excels in diverse conversational and textual tasks, ensuring reliability and consistency in its performance.
Claude has a broad range of capabilities: from summarizing and searching to creative writing collaboration, Q&A, and coding. Initial users have noted that Claude is less prone to yielding detrimental results, more user-friendly, and highly adjustable. This adaptability allows users to effortlessly steer Claude to achieve specific outcomes while also fine-tuning its personality, tone, and demeanor.
4. Llama 2
Llama 2 represents Meta’s advanced iteration of its open source large language model. With pretraining on a whopping 2 trillion tokens, Llama 2 offers double the context capacity compared to its predecessor, Llama 1. Additionally, its fine-tuned models leverage over 1 million human annotations to improve accuracy and relevance.
The Llama-2-chat variant undergoes pretraining from public online data sources. A preliminary version is initially crafted through supervised fine-tuning. The model’s precision is further honed using a method called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), incorporating techniques such as rejection sampling and proximal policy optimization (PPO).
5. Runway AI
Runway AI is an advanced AI system capable of editing and producing videos based on natural language descriptions. Accessible through a browser, Runway AI provides users with a suite of over 30 tools. These tools encompass functionalities such as swift rotoscoping, motion tracking, audio refinement, transcription, subtitle generation, alpha matte exporting, in-painting, and various conversions like text-to-image, image-to-image, and text-to-3D texture. Also, by uploading their media, users can seamlessly modify, transform, or craft novel content.
In addition to these tools, Runway AI has introduced multiple AI models. Noteworthy among these are Stable Diffusion, a model adept at converting text to images, and Gen-2, a text-to-video AI model. With Gen-2, users can weave enchanting videos using simple text, images, or their personal video footage.
