Yeah, I’ve had decent results running the 7B/8B models, particularly the fine tuned ones for specific use cases. But as ya mentioned, they’re only really good in thier scope for a single prompt or maybe a few follow-ups. I’ve seen little improvement with the 13B/14B models and find them mostly not worth the performance hit.
I’ll try it out! It’s been a hot minute, and it seems like there are new options all the time.
