Why are people benchmarking against 3.5? To me, the real race started with GPT-4. 3.5 and 4 are completely different beasts and that open models are catching up to 3.5 doesn't mean much. I've yet to see anything come close to 4.
Because 3.5 is a very useful model. Getting there with an open model already is pretty cool.

Only in benchmarks as GP said. All the models I have tried either hallucinates like crazy or refuse to answer everything. Nowhere close to GPT 3.5.
I have come to the conclusion that as much as possible I should try to wean myself off of OpenAI immediately. Because it's just not necessary or desirable to be tied to a single vendor anymore for many tasks. And in 2024 the open source capabilities will continue to increase. Soon everyone with a relatively new computer will be running things like LLMs locally. Within a couple of years it will be integrated into every OS or browser.
