> Honestly, I don't think anybody should be using ChatGPT-3.5 as a chatbot at this point. Google and Meta both offer free chatbots that are significantly better than ChatGPT-3.5, among other options. Yet I guarantee you that ChatGPT-3.5 has 95% of the "direct to consumer" marketshare. Unless you're a technical user, you haven't even heard about any alternative, let alone used them. Now onto the ranking, I perfectly recognized in my original comment that those comparisons exist, just that they're not highlighted properly in any launch announcement of any new model. I haven't used Llama, only ChatGPT and the multiple versions of Claude 2 and 3. How am I supposed to know if this Falcon 2 thing is even worth looking at beyond the first paragraph if I have to compare it to a specific model that I haven't used before?

You're not. These press releases are for the "technical users" that have heard of and used all of these alternatives. They are not offering a Falcon 2 chat service you can use today. They aren't even offering a chat-tuned Falcon 2 model. The Falcon 2 model in question is a base model, not a chat model. Unless someone is very technical, Falcon 2 is not relevant to them in any way at this point. This is a forum of technical people, which is why it's getting some attention, but I suspect it's still not going to be relevant to most people here.
