This site will let you test different GPTs (far from all of them, but its a good list) in various ways. I particularly like the Arena, in which you get responses from 2 random models to your input, you say which you like best, and then it tells you which is which.

It’s got me considering Claude2 for local projects. I just need to revive the hardware I’d use to run it on.

Depending on what you meant by this question, I’d say Perplexity. It’s got access to a number of different LLMs, and cited its sources. The biggest concern I’ve had when it comes to LLMs is that they eventually make shit up. If you can verify its answers by checking its sources, you have a much higher confidence level in the answer.

The most productive thing I used the free ChatGPT web was to expand a Python 3 script that I was using to run a custom ChatGPT with a Gradio web ui that worked with OpenAI’s API.

I learned quite a lot of Python from almost zero and improved the script to work with LangChain Tools, for instance with a custom recursive summarizer.

koboldcpp works fairly well. There’s lots of different models to try and the choice depends a fair bit on your computer specs and what you wanna do with it. https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp

I like generating short stories for d&d
