Title is a bit dramatic, but yes, Claude 3 claims to be better than GPT 4 in most ways.

This is how French people pronounce cloud, so might be where the name comes from

More likely a reference to Claude Shannon, the founder of AI.

Yes, it’s named after Claude Shannon, but I’ve never heard him described as “the founder of AI”. He’s the father of information theory, which is only indirectly connected to AI.

From the linked Wikipedia page:

"Theseus", created in 1950, was a mechanical mouse controlled by an electromechanical relay circuit that enabled it to move around a labyrinth of 25 squares.[71] The maze configuration was flexible and it could be modified arbitrarily by rearranging movable partitions.[71] The mouse was designed to search through the corridors until it found the target. Having travelled through the maze, the mouse could then be placed anywhere it had been before, and because of its prior experience it could go directly to the target. If placed in unfamiliar territory, it was programmed to search until it reached a known location and then it would proceed to the target, adding the new knowledge to its memory and learning new behavior.[71] Shannon's mouse appears to have been the first artificial learning device of its kind.[71]

Absolutely not. It’s pronounced \klod. The « OW » diphthong sound doesn’t exist in French.

Cloud is generally pronounced as in English \aʊ\ or maybe \klud\ for non English speakers.

There is no possible confusion in French between this two words.

Trust me... "je les ai téléchargés depuis le Claude" is exactly how most French will pronounce. Not all, but most. First hand experience

Nah, we say "claoude".

Sounds more like claode. Which is fraction away from Claude, and most often than not the the ao sounds au
