LLM Comparison Report for Busy Executives
Introduction
This report provides an in-depth analysis of seven leading Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on their applications and use cases in business contexts. The analysis is based on Adaptiv.Me's testing using their Ask Ada chat stack and APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Groq.
At Adaptiv.Me we continually benchmark models in our attempt to develop and improve our own chat as well as content generation services, which are finally used at various places within the edtech platform.
While there have been a large number of Model benchmarking studies - which are a common practice in the AI community - this study aims to look at model performance from the perspective of a application development or business use case suitability purpose.
The aim of this report is to be a quick point of reference for any person who is planning to use LLM in a new or existing business and needs guidance on model suitability for the specific use case.
Key Findings:
Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4 excel across most parameters, making them versatile for various business applications.
Mixtral 8x22B and Llama 3 70B show strong potential in specific areas, particularly text generation.
All models demonstrate high relevancy, with scores of 4/5 or higher, indicating good alignment with business needs.
Implementation ease is consistently high across most tested models, facilitating quicker adoption.
