Parameters to Compare

Context

  • context window:
    • How much information can you feed into the chatbot at once?
    • This is typically measured in words or tokens.
  • context remainment:
    • How many back-and-forth exchanges can occur before the chatbot begins to forget earlier parts of the conversation?
    • What’s the maximum conversation length it can effectively maintain?

Reliability

  • hallucination:
    • How accurate is the chatbot’s information?
    • Can it resist confirming biased or incorrect assumptions in questions?
    • Does it generate false or misleading information while presenting it as fact?
  • internet access :
    • Can the bot retrieve real-time information from external sources?
    • Does it automatically access websites, academic papers, or other online resources when needed ?
  • source transparency :
    • Does the bot cite its sources?
    • Is it clear about where its information comes from?
    • Does it explain the basis for its responses?

Usability

  • writting tone:
    • How natural and human-like is the bot’s communication?
    • Can it adjust its tone to match different situations?
  • multi-model:
    • Can the bot process different types of input beyond text?
    • Does it handle documents (PDF, DOCX), images, audio, and video?
    • Can it effectively use information from these various formats in its responses?
  • response freshness:
    • How consistent are the bot’s responses to identical questions?
    • Does it offer helpful variations in its answers?
  • legal liability:
    • Does the bot recognize and refuse inappropriate requests?
    • How does it handle sensitive topics (political, legal, or ethical issues)?
    • Are there clear guidelines about what it won’t discuss?

Other

  • community:
    • Is there an active community developing extensions or plugins?
    • Are there readily available tools to enhance the bot’s capabilities using initial prompting? and can the bot be customized for specific professional needs (like writing, teaching, or specialized fields) ?
