Being cautious is fine. Farming hype around something that may as well not exist for us should be discouraged. I do appreciate the research outputs.

Don't worry, in 6-8 months the open models will catch up. Or I guess _do_ worry? ;)
Open models still haven't caught up to ChatGPT's initial release in 2022. Now that the training data is so contaminated (internet is now mostly LLM slop), they may never.
Also, OpenAI's only real moat used to be the quality of their training data from scraping the pre-GPT-3.5 Internet, but it looks like even they've scratched that too.
Er, what? We've had open models that can outperform ChatGPT 3.5 for several years now, and they can run entirely on your phone these days. There is no metric by which 3.5 has not been exceeded.
Not in the creative writing I care about. I've been looking for years and trying new models practically every month, including closed, hosted models. None of them approach the quality of the logs I have from that original release.
