[0] At least in the core, I'm not too familiar with the full ecosystem and what is considered official in terms of plugins. Everytime I've tried to use it, I've not found the documentation leading me to using anything more specifically oriented towards charting.
The image has been fixed, and the point I'm making is that proprietary models are almost always ahead, and this gap is widening. OS models that are nearly at the same quality are usually distilled versions of proprietary models, or somehow get training data from them. Sometimes, after massive, expensive training runs models are open sourced anyway, and at some point that becomes unsustainable.
The difference between a top model and a model with a similar ELO might seem small, but the value of even a marginal increase in intelligence is extremely high--for example I only use the best coding model for coding, whatever the cost.
There's also lots of evidence that large labs are only getting started. In the past year, they have secured massive amounts of compute, which is still not utilized well. I expect lots of big training runs in the future, which will shift the gap further between OS and proprietary models.
The major problem for these companies is they spend hundreds of millions of dollars training a model, and then someone comes in the next day and distills something almost as good for far less money (still a VERY large sum of money.)
I don't know how this will be resolved long term.
I think I'm getting it now: OS models are getting closer, but only via distillation. Not by training a new frontier model which is out of reach for economic reasons.

And then the beginning of the fourth:

Followed by a picture that is more or less inscrutable.
For a quick test I've uploaded a photo of my home office and asked the following prompt: "Retouch this photo to fix the gray panels at the bottom that are slightly ripped, make them look brand new"

I think it did a fantastic job. The output image quality is ever so slightly worse than the original but that's something they'll improve with time I'm sure.
I couldn't help but notice that you can still see the shadows of the rips in the fixed version. I wonder how hard it would be to get those fixed as well.
In similar in some ways to FeinCMS in philosophy and I borrowed a small amount of code from Fein. It's not quite as cleverly coded but actually simpler in some respects (in a good way).

Finally I love the way its going and the good patterns, its looking like the Python Wordpress. :)
A Great initiative for the whole Python and Django ecosystem. Looks like the next Python Wordpress?
