The AI providers that we are looking in no particular order, include:

• Gemini
• Hugging Face
• Anthropic
• Cohere

What is it about Claude that stands out for you?

Lyds

I'm finding Claude to produce better, more natural results, especially Claude 3.5 Sonnet (and Opus but that's more expensive to use as API) compared to ChatGPT (although the only model that I can select in Studio seems to be a ChatGPT 3.5, wish that was upgradeable to 4o or 4.

I'd also like to see Perplexity as an option, it's already a great research tool, besides API, plus they give out free API credits if you're a Pro subscriber, so those would come in hand.

And a real dream come true would be if it was somehow possible to set instructions for the Claude, OpenAI etc API so you can give specific instructions for specific translations. Not a list of options, but a text box where you can enter instructions as you'd wish.

You can work with 4o.  What version of Trados Studio are you using?  Sounds like an old one!

Looks interesting.  I hadn't seen this one before but I quite like the way they deliver the results... and I have to say the reply to a question about Trados Studio was more up to date and relevant than anything I get from GPT or Gemini.

You mean like this?  Add as many as you like and select the one you want to use:

Comes with a few but you can create them too... for example:

Resulting in something like this which can be as comprehensive as you wish:

Interesting, I don't see an option to select GPT-4 at all, just 3.5. Studio also doesn't show any updates, nor does the plugin. Any idea what is going on?

I did not even see those prompt options! That's amazing, and can make such a difference in quality, consistency, etc. Thanks so much for that heads-up. Now if I only can get the GPT-4 on there (or even better Claude 3.5 Sonnet).

Perplexity AI (the app/website) is a combination of an AI Chat with a search engine, so it has access to current news, while AI models have a cutoff date. It's what SearchGPT aims to be, but that's not available yet. The API doesn't cover that though, but as a search engine, it has almost completely replaced the traditional search engines for me. Also, the Pro version goes even deeper and produces better results (it also has the option to select different AI Models like ChatGPT models and Anthropic models). I highly recommend it.

Well... if you don't tell me what version of Studio you're using or even what plugin you're using it's hard to know!  This space is moving so fast the initial AI Professional became out dated rapidly and changed into what we use today.  In fact the AI Professional isn't even available any more for the latest version of Studio as it was replaced completely.

If you don't see the choice of GPT-4, this may be a limitation of your Open AI account. GPT-4 is only available if you have a paid account.

As Lydia mentioned we did plan to add LLMs related to Anthropic next... but that part was delayed because it's almost impossible getting an account set up.  We have no problem with any other provider but Anthropic have the worst support I've ever come across and cannot sort out payment for me with the same card we use for every other account we work on.  So as many users here we are also not immune to the internal shenanigans of technology companies!!

So we parked Anthropic for the time being and are currently looking at Hugging Face.  This one is important because it will give us the ability to support local LLMs which are becoming better and better and smaller and smaller.  As computers get faster the performance is also pretty amazing.  Whilst my work laptop (i7, 16Gb RAM) is a little slow handling them, my personal laptop (i9, 32Gb RAM) is amazing.  Faster than using ChatGPT to chat with a local model and I have two larger LLMs installed at the same time I can play with and switch between.  So no need to connect to anything or pay for anything.  For many users a very desirable solution!

If Anthropic ever come back to me with a sensible approach to getting the account sorted we'll come back to it.  In the meantime I'm not too impressed and don't have any desire to waste any more time on trying to chase them.

Oh sorry, I'm always on the latest everything, so latest Studio (2024) version with latest update (I assume since there are no updates available)

I have a paid OpenAI account.

Sorry to hear that, I use Claude only through API and no issues setting up a paid account or adding funds, but might be different since you use it as business I guess.
