I was bummed to see that Denmark is still not one of the countries where Claude chat is available.
But now that at least API is supported, perhaps I should consider this more technical approach. I'm definitely curious to check Claude out, it's been on my list for months!
Good to know, thanks! And I'm also not sure why there's a distinction between API access and claude.com, but perhaps the latter will soon finally be available in Denmark.
Yup, that's exactly it. It's the ony reason I'm considering checking out the API even though I'd have much preferred the noob-friendly chat interface instead. The funny thing is, when I was trying to sign up at claude.com, they even offer Denmark on the list of countries to use for you telephone number verification. But when I attempted it, I got auto-banned by their system without explanation. Fun times.
Thanks for the comprehensive deep dive. My early tinkering shows that Claude 3 is much more human-like: it uses capital words when it makes sense (e.g. do NOT press the red button) and significantly reduces the occurrence of false "I cannot help you with that" responses.
Thanks for your kind words, Paul. To be honest, I wrote this piece in a hurry. There’s no guide on connecting to the Claude 3 Opus API in C#, so I thought I could get ahead by being the first to publish one, and here it is. 😊 I only slept for 3 hours.
"Exactly a week ago, I wrote an article where I talked about the reasons why I stopped to use paid services. I did not even imagine that in just a few days, I would have to retract my decision because one of the leading companies offered us a model with absolutely incredible capabilities."
Impressive that you were open to changing your mind on your no paid services declaration.
Regarding, GPT-5, does the ethical design of these LLMs play a factor in your decision making of which paid services you support? Claude seems much far ahead on ethical design than ChatGPT with their constitutional ethics framework imo.
Thanks for such a thorough deep-dive, Nat!

Thanks for your valuable feedback, Daniel. That's strange. BTW, you can claim 5$ credit to use the API.

That’s crazy. I went and looked this up - there’s different lists of supported countries for claude.ai (https://www.anthropic.com/claude-ai-locations) and the API (https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries).

Thanks for another great write-up, Nat. Keep rocking!!!!!
Thanks for your kind feedback, Sergio!

That’s my favorite part, Sahar :) Thanks for weighing in 🙌
I love the pace of innovation we’re seeing in the space. Can’t wait to try it out!
Let us know your thoughts once you do.
When I see one of your new articles Nat I just have to read it, and I'm never disappointed.

Incredible and highly-detailed deep-dive. Thanks Nat!
Appreciate your feedback, dear Nana
Nat, this is an amazing and thoughtful deep-dive. Thank you.
Thrilled to learn you liked it. Thanks for the kind feedback, Tyler.
Great read! At this point I'm just as excited to see what names companies come up with as I am to try out new models. 🤣
Thanks. Well, that's a tough question :) Companies are obsessed with names. Bing changed the name 3 times already.

Incredible work!!! Even a toddler can get familiar with Claude thanks to this article
