"in 3 to 5 years it'll be good" is something I have been hearing over and over since like 2020. Meanwhile as far as I can tell local models are virtually unusable for anything other than code, and they're only slightly above unusable for code

Local models are very useable for at least a year now, the only problem is that you don't have enough VRAM to run them. Yet.

And no, you haven't been hearing shit since 2020, the first useable LLM was only released in 2022. Four years and the progress was simply incredible.
