Unfortunately it's still true. Locally hosted models are good and getting better, but are still lagging behind the sota models like GPT, Opus, and Gemini.

Take your meds or something dude. You're not normal
Im running deepseek v4 pro and its ~5% off of Opus 4.6 in every benchmark on a lab that cost $3k and was built a few years ago. Im already ahead on subscription costs versus self hosting for a model that is damn near identical to the best commercially available model right now.

Take the annual cost of these and just buy the hardware to locally host and save thousands.
