Set aside benchmarks, if you had to choose one to use instead of ChatGPT for the next 6 months, which one would you pick? Recently, I’ve been experiencing some extreme slow down and poor answers on GPT so I’m going to run a local backup for the time being to assist when GPT4 is down. I’m leaning towards Mistral. I can be convinced to test some others, though.
Mistral has been quite good at multiple tasks I throw at it given its small size. But for specific tasks some models can work better
I’m still shocked at how good mistral is. I wrote it off as a meme model for far too long just because of how overstated the praise seemed to be. But the thing really is amazing for the size.
