And we are excited to see how much better we are able to make Poe Apps as the models continue to get better at writing code this year.”
Poe Apps, which broaden on the net apps characteristic Poe launched final July, are rather a lot like Anthropic’s Artifacts and OpenAI’s ChatGPT Canvas instruments: devoted workspaces the place customers can edit and add to AI-generated content material like code and paperwork. Whereas the apps these kind of instruments can produce are fairly restricted, they actually show how far fashions’ programming capabilities have come.
