I’m sure you’re right, for the things you are asking of an llm, just as I am right about the things I am asking of an llm.

The real question is, what are 90% of people going to ask llms to do. I’d argue mostly it’s going to be stuff that works-now or almost-works on local models, but that’s just an opinion. It also depends on the frontier models hitting a wall of steeply diminishing returns, since they set the expectations for all of this stuff - my gut says that’s happened already they just won’t admit it for a while - but we’ll see.
