It’s going to sound like a cope, but honestly, if this is the plateau point for most LLMs, I’m happy with it. I still remember the early Alpaca days and the doomers saying that local models would never be good or useful and now here we are, just a few steps behind the proprietary models, thanks to the Chinese.

That being said, I think there’s still a lot of progress to be made in all directions related to LLMs, so I’m hopeful
