lets be genuine here: those local models are no where near the capabilities of true modern llms like codex 5.5 and fable 5
but i also dont doubt in a few years time models with those benchmarks will be able to be run locally
still many many breakthroughs to be had
Personally I am fine with the SOTA from last year if I can run it on my hardware and who gets access to my data and history. I don’t really care that it could be marginally better using a model I cannot control on someone else’s server.
I am not fine with that. I have ranted about this before, but until recently the sota models were not intelligent enough for most of my work.
Yesterday Fable 5 finally solved a non trivial problem I had (after working on it for a few hours), and I went to bed excited. Waking up to find that Fable 5 is not available anymore, I guess I should feel happy I have the code it produced yesterday. But frankly I feel like a child having their candy taken from them.
We need open available models as smart as the current US proprietary ones. If intelligence like that becomes common property, i forsee a better future for human kind!
