Six AI technologies

I just asked Grok 4 the following

“Can you give me an overview of the following AI technogies including a brief history, and what I can do for each to set up on my Android phone or Windows 10 laptop?
ChatGPT Gemini Llama DeepSeek Grok4 Claude?”

I just copied the reply to a gmail to myself, then copied the gmail to myself with the nicely formated table and pasted into this new WordPress Page…(the table is very squished on a phone, best to view this on a PC). I use Grok 4 almost exclusively from X Premium and have only run these other ones a few times for comparison.

HERE IS THE ANSWER:

Overview of AI TechnologiesBelow is a structured overview of the requested AI technologies. Each includes a brief history based on their development timelines, and practical steps for setting up access on an Android phone or Windows 10 laptop. Note that setup typically involves web access, mobile apps, or local installations depending on whether the AI is cloud-based or open-source. For open-source models like Llama and DeepSeek, local setup requires technical knowledge and sufficient hardware (e.g., GPU for better performance). I’ve focused on free or basic access where possible; premium features may require subscriptions.

ChatGPTChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, was released in November 2022 as a generative AI chatbot built on large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and its predecessors.
