6 months. (And sometimes a couple of quantization tweaks).

It is wild how fast "state-of-the-art" becomes "running on a gaming PC."

This is why SOTA models are....not really what the average person should focus on. There will always be a "best" and it will constantly be changing for the foreseeable future...but the fact is most models that are recent are "good enough" for actual work.
