The improvements seem to be leveling off already. GPT-4 isn't really worth the extra price to me. It's not that much better.

What I would really want though is an uncensored LLM. OpenAI is basically unusable now, most of its replies are like "I'm only a dumb AI and my lawyers don't want me to answer your question". Yes I work in cyber. But it's pretty insane now.

I haven't played with the self-hosted LLMs at all yet, but back when Stable Diffusion was brand new I had a ton of fun creating images that lawyers wouldn't want you to create. ("Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump riding a battle elephant." It's just so much funnier with living people!) I imagine that Llama-2 and friends offer a similar experience.

GPT-4, correctly prompted, is head and shoulders above everything for coding. All the text generation stuff and NLP tasks, it’s a toss-up.

It's way better at writing code, or at least I've found it to be so.
