alt Hacker NewsLocal models at that scale just aren’t comparable to the frontier. I’m a big DeepSeek glazer but even the gap between full DS 1017 and Opus 5.5 is vast. Local models will never be able to reach that level, there’s real limitations at play. SOTA models are getting bigger and bigger.

For how long? Give it another year, and they will be.

Local models are useable and practical today. There is very clear diminishing returns from just increasing model size. You say you are a 'deepseek glazer' but the anthropic/openai glazers were saying the local models we have now were literally impossible just a year ago... and it seems the propaganda is still flowing

Don't have to be. They just have to be good enough for the tasks you need.
