Phi-2 was useless for practical purposes except if you want to show your friends that it can write a poem, llama3 8b was slightly better but is still same category, it’s complete trash with coding vs gpt4. Llama3 400b “iS OPen SoURce!” But no you will need to pay to access because most one can not practically afford an A100 and set it up properly.

What I’m trying to say is that user experience is now as key as the model smarts and these barely touching gpt4 models cannot beat OpenAI right now as a whole package.

I just tried to give gpt4 a scrape of a menu page and asked it to reformat it to csv. It hallucinated several parts and missed others. Llama3-70b hasn’t done that. So far it’s been more reliable. You can run a quantized version on consumer hardware or pay significantly less ($10 vs $1 in, $30 vs $1 out) on hosted platforms.
