>Every other company, and even completely independent models, are rapidly catching up. I see the HN headlines like "new model approaches GPT4 in benchmarks!" but they turn out to suck when I try them. What can I use today that comes close to GPT4? Certainly not Bard. I generally run 2 tests to gauge: 1. Write me a Python script that blah blah blah 2. Write me the lyrics to a song about blah blah blah Only GPT4 has given me impressive results. For #2 the other models manage to rhyme (except most local models), but the rhymes on other models are really basic compared to GPT4's.
