> They are pretty clear that 1.5 Pro is better than GPT-4 in general, and therefore we have a new LLM-as-judge leader, which is pretty interesting I fully disagree, they compare Gemini 1.5 Pro and GPT4 only on context length, not on othe

Anyone has insights on which of these networks really have gained a strong, stable user base? I hear a lot on mastodon for instance, is it really becoming bigger or staying very niche?
