In the last six months model size has come way down and quality has gone way up through different training styles/methods. There is an incentive to release separate models capable of running on 8/16/32gb ram. On my laptop I have something like six free/open source models installed. LLMs are getting so easy to make that people are doing this in their spare time as a hobby. This is starting to feel like a small stepping stone towards AGI but only time will tell.
