LLMs are general purpose tools and absolutely are not better than trained models (using the latest techniques) for a specific task. I mean, that's obviously true if you think about it.

You can use similar datasets and the latest model architectures and if you train a model purely for sentiment analysis it will be better than frontier general purpose LLMs for sentiment analysis.

It's really mind-boggling that so many people disagree via downvotes that you compare models and choose the best performing one, independent of the hype ...
