It takes less than an hour of conversation with either, giving them a few tasks requiring logical reasoning, to arrive at that conclusion. If that is a strong position, it's only because so many people seem to be buying the common scoreboards wholesale.
That’s very subjective and case dependent. I use local models most often myself with great utility and advocate for giving my companies the choice of using either local models or commercial services/APIs (ChatGPT, GPT-4 API, some Llama derivative, etc.) based on preference. I do not personally find there to be a large gap between the capabilities of commercial models and the fine-tuned 70b or Mixtral models. On the whole, individuals in my companies are mixed in their opinions enough for there to not be any clear consensus on which model/API is best objectively — seems highly preference and task based. This is anecdotal (though the population size is not small), but I think qualitative anec-data is the best we have to judge comparatively for now.
I agree scoreboards are not a highly accurate ranking of model capabilities for a variety of reasons.
