Good by what standard? Compared to SOTA today? No they're not. But they are better than the SOTA in 2020, and likely 2023. We have a magical pseudo-thinking machine that we can run locally completely under our control, and instead the goal posts have moved to "but it's not as fast as the proprietary could". | ||

My comparison was today's local AI to today's SOTA commercial AI. Both have improved, no argument. It's more cost effective for someone to pay $20 to $100 month for a Claude subscription compared to buying a 512 gig Mac Studio for $10K. We won't discuss the cost of the NVidia rig. I mess around with local AI all the time. It's a fun hobby, but the quality is still night and day. | ||
