Yeah I agree, everytime a new model releases I download the highest quantization or fp16, that fits into my VRAM, test it out with a few prompts, and then realize that downloadable models are still not as good as the closed ones (except speed wise).

I don't know why I still do it, but everytime I read so many comments how good model X is, and how it outperforms anything else, and then I want to see it for myself.
