Can Claude 3.5 Sonnet compete with GPT-4o and Gemini-1.5 Pro?

OpenAI’s top rival, Anthropic, which is backed by AMAZON, recently launched its newest AI model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Now the question is "Will it outperform competitors like OpenAI and Google”?
  
Anthropic claims this new model surpasses well-known competitors like OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini-1.5 Pro.  Claude 3 models demonstrate advanced intelligence, near-human levels of responsiveness, improved steerability and accuracy, and new vision capabilities.
 
Data from Anthropic shows that Claude 3 Opus, the most intelligent of the model family, has set a new standard, outperforming other models available today—including OpenAI’s GPT-4—in the areas of reasoning, math, and coding. Claude 3 Sonnet offers the best combination of skills and speed, with twice the speed1 of earlier Claude models (for the vast majority of workloads) but higher levels of intelligence.

 
While Claude 3 Haiku, designed to be the fastest, most compact model in the market, is one of the most affordable options available today for its intelligence category, with near-instant responsiveness that mimics human interactions.
 
According to Anthropic, Claude 3 offers significant improvements over other models available today across tasks such as coding, and being able to understand non-English languages (including Spanish, Japanese, and French), as well as lower levels of hallucinations than the most popular models from other providers, and higher levels of accuracy than earlier models.
 
The Claude 3 models are better than earlier generations at following complex, multi-step instructions and adhering to brand voice guidelines for customer-facing experiences. Further, Claude 3 models can produce outputs in formats that make it easier for customers to develop applications for use cases like natural language classification and sentiment analysis.
All three new models have advanced vision capabilities, enabling them to process diverse data formats and analyze image data to meet customers’ growing demand for models that better understand charts, graphs, technical diagrams, photos, and other visual assets.
 
Claude 3.5 Sonnet generally outperforms GPT-4o and Gemini 1.5 Pro across most benchmarks. It shows superior performance in graduate-level reasoning, coding, multilingual math, reasoning over text, mixed evaluations, and grade school math.
