True but it's ahead of the competition when size is considered, which is why i really look forward to their 13B, 33B models etc. because if they are as potent who knows what leaps we'll take soon.

I remember running llama1 33B 8 months ago that as i remember was on Mistral 7B's level while other 7B models were a rambling mess.

The jump in "potency" is what is so extreme.
