Re:Why your local LLM feels dumber than it is

I have been using open source LLMs locally for the past 5 months like Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek and others, and I have also noticed that current local models feel significantly dumber than closed source commercial models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. One main reason I think is the amount, variety, and quality of original authentic data on which they are being trained on, and also the training method plays a significant role in the performance difference between local open source models and closed source commercial models.
