I've been playing with the open models since the original llama leak. They're getting better over time, are useful for tasks of moderate complexity and it's just cool to have a binary blob of knowledge that you can run locally without an internet connection.

However you should manage your expectations. Whatever the benchmarks say, you'll quickly realise they're not at all competing with Sonnet let alone Opus. Even the largest open weights models aren't really doing that.
