I'm really weighing whether I should continue paying for GPT4. I'm already using the API to pay just what I use for instead of full-blown ChatGPT Plus. Despite OpenAI nerfing hard it's models, none of the alternatives available seem to match their answer quality yet.
Perhaps I haven't looked enough? Bard/Gemini was crap, so was Bing Chat/Copilot. I see a lot of promise in FOSS models like Mixtral, but I can't feasibly selfhost it without a good GPU.
