If you're a diligent tester, none of the open source models can touch GPT 3.5 yet, however, in practical terms, some of the 60b and 30b parameter models are almost indistinguishable from GPT 3.5 from the layperson's perspective. Now, if you consider the uncensored models, then you actually have some capabilities that GPT 3.5 and 4 are completely lacking.

Based on the rate of progress in the open source world, it won't be more than a year before we have an open source model that is truly superior to GPT 3.5

Yup - I'd say this feels about right.

The commercial & api based models are still more capable general purpose tools. But the current open tooling can do some nifty stuff, and the community around it is moving at a breakneck speed still.

In some areas, it's acceptably good. In some areas it's not. But it's getting better really fast.

That's why my current plan is to get ChatGPT 4 to help me set up my local open source implementations of Orca and Stable Diffusion. Got MusicGen running locally anyway; that was pretty easy.

Can you elaborate on what those capabilities are?
