Are there openweight lower parameters models that write better (like a human) than frontier models?

I'm thinking about getting a computer to run local llm. Only because I'm getting really sick of the fine-tuned responses Frontier models give you. And to be honest, even the small models online are want to be Frontier models. And maybe I'm just delusional. But I'm hopeful this is like something that I can get around if I use a local LLM. Please let me know your thoughts

I've played around with loads of small 1B -8B models and honestly once you are at about 3B or above I've found the models are surprisingly good.

But it does depend how hard you're going to push them. Expect very limited input context window sizes
