The models are converging slowly. In the end, it will come down to the user experience and the "personality." I have been enjoying the new Claude Sonnet. It feels sharper than the others, even though it is not the highest-scoring one.

One thing that `exponentialists` forget is that each step also requires exponentially more energy and resources.

I have been paying for OpenAI since they started accepting payment, but to echo your comment, Claude is so good I am primarily relying on it now for LLM driven work and cancelled my OpenAI subscription. Genuine kudos to Mistral, they are a worthy competitor in the space against Goliaths. They make someone mediocre at writing code less so, so I can focus on higher value work.

And a factor for Mistral typically is it will give you less refusals and can be uncensored. So if I have to guess any task that requires creative output could be better suited for this.
