There are a lot of models coming out, but in my view, most don't really matter or move the needle. There are the frontier models which aren't open (like GPT-4o)

There are a lot of models coming out, but in my view, most don't really matter or move the needle. There are the frontier models which aren't open (like GPT-4o) and then there are the small "elite" local LLMs like Llama3 8B. The rest seem like they are mostly about manipulating benchmarks. Whenever I try them, they are worse in actual practice than the Llama3 models.
