Llama is good enough and I don’t have to give my data to a very sketchy organization. Happy to never use OpenAI again.

Not today, but I have a feeling that 3 years from now things will look very very different.
I'd say Llama has improved at a much faster clip than anything OpenAI has released, so probably in 3 years what I said will be even more true.
All these models train on the same data (sort of) and so all will pretty quickly reach the same asymptote.
Eventually they'll be put in robots able to gather real-world data live, and they'll have a practically infinite amount of video/audio/tactile data to learn from.
Sure, but this scales rather poorly. How many robots do you expect, and don't you expect some resistance from the public, for privacy reasons at the least?
I agree, I don't think there's a moat and this is going to be a commodity feature.
Gemini is also very cheap and comparable and works well as a drop in replacement for OpenAI models.
For me, Llama is definitely not good enough yet. At least, the one I can host isn't.
Try Lambda Labs if you want to host a bigger model.
