Top 8 AI Options Other Than ChatGPT

Top 8 AI Options Other Than ChatGPT!!!

1. Microsoft Bing

One of the top ChatGPT alternatives on the model right now is Microsoft Bing AI. The revamped search engine is powered by an upgraded model of ChatGPT, which the company called GPT-4.

The new Bing also has a Chat mode that pulls in web queries and allows users to ask contextual information based on them. The AI bot cum search engine recently even received a host of new features, including multimodal capability, visual answers, increased accuracy, and the Bing Image Creator. Bing even allows users to plan trips, get recipes, seek out advice, and a lot more, just like ChatGPT. While it was earlier available via a waitlist, this amazing ChatGPT alternative is now available to everyone.

Key Features: Powered by GPT-4, Supports visual input and output, Connects to the internet, Get the latest information on any subject, Chat history, Different chat modes, Cites sources

Pros	Cons
Different conversational modes	Responses could be faster

2. Perplexity AI

Perplexity AI is a ChatGPT alternative that has also been trained on OpenAI’s API and, as such, performs well with good responses. The website itself has been packaged in a minimalist manner and is simple to use. The tool offers ChatGPT-like functionality, including the ability to hold conversations and provide simple to nuanced responses. However, unlike ChatGPT, Perplexity even cites the sources it is using to answer your queries.

Whenever asked something, the AI cites the source at the end of every sentence, like Wikipedia, and actually derives from it too. In the time I used the AI, I looked through the sources to spot copy-pasting but could find none. So it’s good to see Perplexity is doing its due diligence.

I had a variety of conversations with this chatbot, and it was able to hold its own without sounding confused. Perplexity even comes with a GPT-4 powered co-pilot mode that can respond with clarifying questions and help narrow the search. There is a neat dark mode on the website, so there’s that.

Key Features: Cites sources, Actionable results, Good for product recommendations, Features GPT-4 mode, Upload files

Pros	Cons
Holds good conversations without being confused	Might accidentally copy from sources
Cites sources with answers	No additional features
Minimalist website layout	Can’t remember past responses

3. Google Bard AI

Ever since ChatGPT went viral, a lot of users had their eye on Google. While the company was silent for a long time since it was concerned about the potential misuse of its chatbot AI, Google recently opened the gates. For those unaware, Google Bard is an experimental conversational AI service. Bard is powered by Google’s latest PaLM 2 LLM, Google’s own next-generation language and conversational model.

While it was only limited to a few people, you can now use Google Bard right now without delay. The company is even bringing generative AI to search, which will be a game changer. You will soon see quick answers to questions at the top of search results. Not to mention, you can also upload images to Google Bard now.

Google Bard piqued our curiosity, so we crafted a ChatGPT vs Bard battle and things got interesting. We even compared Google Bard vs MS Bing Chat and Bard performs differently than you would expect. Check the comparisons out and tell us if you plan to use this ChatGPT alternative.

Key Features: Upload images, Chat history, Powered by the latest PaLM 2 model, Export to Docs, Colab, Powerful coding and reasoning capability, Multilingual model, Implicit Code Execution

4. Jasper Chat

Jasper has been in the AI content generation business for some time now and has been well-accepted among users. However, apart from its content generation features and other services, Jasper also has a relatively new chatbot.

Aptly named Jasper Chat, this ChatGPT alternative is also based on GPT 3.5, among more language models, and has OpenAI as its partner. However, unlike ChatGPT, which can effectively be used by anyone, JasperChat has been built for businesses like advertising, marketing, and such.

According to the company, Jasper Chat has learned from billions of articles and other pieces of information before mid-2021 in 29 languages. So while it might not include the most recent information, it can still hold medium to complex conversations. There is also a convenient toggle to include Google search data that lends it more power.

Jasper Chat itself is free, but you require Jasper’s Boss or Business plan to access all the features. The Boss Plan starts at $59 per month. It’s not exactly cheap, but it also gives you access to all of Jasper’s services. Get the 5-day trial to see if it fits you.

Key Features: Powered by OpenAI models, Expansive knowledge till mid-2021, Remembers conversation, Plagiarism free output, Supports 29 languages

Pros	Cons
Can hold intelligent conversations	Locked behind an expensive paywall
A boon for marketers and working professionals	Slightly old dataset

5. Chatsonic

Chatsonic is one of the newest and quite expansive ChatGPT alternatives that has been making the rounds lately. It has been built on top of ChatGPT and hence, inherits its vast potential. However, this AI chatbot comes backed by more features and broader knowledge as it can access the Internet, which is something the former still can’t do.

The ability to output answers using internet results gives Chatsonic the ability to dissipate correct information, making it a bit less prone to errors. The AI chatbot also remembers conversations and draws on them to continue the flow. It even comes with 16 different personas, ranging from an accountant to a poet, in case you feel like having a conversation with different people.

Besides text, Chatsonic also has a built-in image generator that makes decent images out of the prompts you give. While the bot is not free, it gives you 25 free generations every day. Moreover, you can make use of this impressive ChatGPT alternative using its browser extension and an Android app.

Key Features: Offers GPT-4 model, Image creation, Voice command, Translation, Character-based chat, Internet access

Pros	Cons
Internet access brings broader knowledge	Only 25 free generations
Different personas bring variety to conversations
Companion browser extension and Android app
Can read the response back

6. Claude 2

ChatGPT has no shortage of rivals in the AI space. Enter Claude 2, an upgraded AI chatbot by the company Anthropic. The company has been backed by Google, making it an OpenAI competitor. Claude doesn’t use an LLM model in the traditional sense. It instead uses a collection of what it calls “proprietary AI techniques” that include a neural network, training data, and more. This is focused more on natural conversation. This makes Claude a helpful, harmless, and honest bot for use.

While initially accessible only through Slack, Claude is now available through a website to users in the U.S. and the U.K.

Besides that, however, Claude is capable of a lot, including writing complex content and code, solving riddles, telling jokes, general conversations, and more. It even comes with the option to attach files to extract text from them. However, do note that Claude 2 cannot access the Internet and is limited by its data.

Claude is free to use right now for users in select countries. Try it out and let us know what you think.

Key Features: 100k context window, Can load libraries of books, comparable to the GPT-4 model, Upload PDF files, Cheaper than GPT-4, Safe to use LLM

Pros	Cons
Fully free to use for now	Limited Availability
Quick response time

7. Llama 2

After the success of Llama, Meta launched Llama 2 to the open-source community. This time, the company has released both pre-trained and fine-tuned models ranging from 7B to 70B parameters. It supports a context length of 4096 tokens. In comparison to its older model, Llama 2 has double the context length and is trained on 2 trillion tokens.

In terms of abilities, Llama 2 has a strong hold on reasoning and coding. However, in the HumanEval benchmark, it is significantly behind GPT-4 and even GPT-3.5 models. To sum up, among all the open-source models, Llama 2 is one of the most powerful foundational models that gives tough competition to ChatGPT. You should definitely try it and see if Llama 2 can replace ChatGPT for you.

Key Features: Best among open-source models, Trained on 7B to 70B parameters, Context length 4096 tokens, Comparable to GPT-3.5, Expertise in reasoning and coding

Pros	Cons
Free and open-source	Poor HumanEval performance
Very good at reasoning and coding
Fast performance

8. HuggingChat

One of the best open-source ChatGPT alternatives, HuggingChat is an AI chatbot that has been created by HuggingFace, one of the premier websites hosting many AI services. This chatbot is based on the Meta AI (LLaMA) language model, which hosts about 65 billion parameters. What may seem moderate doesn’t stop HuggingChat from being any less efficient.

HuggingChat can do everything ChatGPT would. It can write interesting blog posts and jokes, curate HTML code for websites, give you recipes, and much more. There is also a handy toggle to enable web access. Once done, the AI bot can search the Internet and respond back with even more contextual information. Try out this ChatGPT alternative the next time the former goes down.

Key Features: Decent general-purpose model, Supports web access, Good for coding, Powered by Meta’s open-source models

Pros	Cons
Fast and snappy replies	Fewer parameters than ChatGPT
