Every day, the ChatGPT neural network is becoming more and more popular: it is already used by millions of people around the world. Many developers from the IT sector, in an attempt to repeat the success of OpenAI, create their own versions of the neural network, which are not only similar to the famous GPT neural network, but also offer a wider range of capabilities.
YandexGPT
The YandexGPT neural network created by Yandex interacts with users in both text and audio format through the Alice virtual assistant. This mode is available not only in the company's browser, but also in the Yandex application itself, and when using the voice assistant on various devices, including smart TVs and audio stations.
The model specializes in creating text materials and generating ideas on various topics, YandexGPT can compress a voluminous article up to 30 thousand characters into a compact list of key points, can create various texts: from stories and collections to announcements. The neural network is still in the learning stage and does not have the ability to check facts via the Internet, but will gladly offer a list of books on request, help in preparing for the celebration or draw up an action plan for your project. Texts generated through YandexGPT can be brought into an easy-to-read form: this model can highlight headings, quotes, and even format the code by adding bold and italic fonts for emphasis.
Google Bard
This replacement for Google's ChatGPT is now available mainly for users in the US and UK, although it is also possible to access via VPN in other countries. "Bard" is powered by LaMDA, which is Google's own language model. So far, the bot has proven to be a reliable assistant in creating texts and can even edit articles or generate business documents, but it does not yet search for up-to-date information.
On the official page of the service, it is possible to register for early access to the "Bard" in certain countries. There is no exact information about whether the "Bard" will be integrated into the Google search engine completely, but the developers are already planning to add functions based on this neural network to Google Search: quick and accurate answers to user questions will be displayed at the top of the page, preceding the main search results.
YouChat
Made on the basis of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies, YouChat is not inferior in functionality to chatbots from OpenAI. The program is complemented by an intuitive interface and is built into the You.com search engine. In addition to mimicking a conversation style similar to ChatGPT, YouChat acts as a web search tool by providing lists of related internet resources. With the free version of YouChat, only features supported by GPT-3.5 are available, and the information is only relevant until 2021.
However, the combination of search and communication features makes this chatbot quite attractive. For $10 per month, the user will have access to more accurate and diverse answers (thanks to the use of GPT-4) and the ability to quickly create high-quality images using Stable Diffusion XL.
Chatsonic
This service uses the same technological foundations - GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 - as ChatGPT, but expands their functionality. Unlike ChatGPT, which can't browse the internet for up-to-date data, Chatsonic has access to online resources and can provide additional information from Google. Another advantage is the ability to generate images: Chatsonic integrates Stable Diffusion and DALL-E neural networks through the API, which makes it possible to create visual content. In addition, this chatbot can recognize and execute voice commands, providing even audio responses.
As for Chatsonic's pricing policy, it is varied: the basic version runs on GPT-3.5, while the more expensive Superior and Ultra variants use GPT-4 for more detailed and accurate answers. Additionally, these packages include advanced language settings and the ability to receive more voluminous texts. The word limit in the free version can be removed by subscribing for $19 per month.
Perplexity
If a user is looking for something in the spirit of ChatGPT, he should consider the Perplexity platform: this system combines the functionality of a search engine and answers based on OpenAI technology. At the moment, the capabilities of this platform are similar to what ChatGPT offers, however, the Perplexity team has brought its innovations by upgrading the basic version of GPT and adding unique features.
One of the key features of Perplexity is the ability to take into account the history of the user's past requests, which allows for a deeper and more consistent dialogue. So the user can adapt the platform's answers, customizing them to suit their professional interests or hobbies.
In addition, when requesting on the platform, a structured response with hyperlinks is provided for additional verification of the information. The platform works great in English, but also supports many other languages.
By subscribing for $ 20 per month, the user will have access to answers based on the GPT-4 model, which will allow you to understand in more detail complex queries on various topics.
GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot stands alone when it comes to automating and improving the programming process. This tool offers programmers automatic solutions and additions to the code, ensuring that programs are written and optimized quickly. Based on the power of the GPT-4 model, Copilot was "pumped" by analyzing millions of lines of code. It interacts perfectly with various popular code editors: Visual Studio, Neovim, VS Code, and JetBrains. In addition, Copilot has recently introduced a voice control feature, which allows developers to formulate their requests even faster and more conveniently. Moreover, this tool can understand someone else's code, providing explanations to its individual parts!
In terms of cost, an individual subscription to Copilot is priced at $10 per month, while for enterprise customers it is $19 per user per month.
