When using it for coding I'd rather have quality than garbage 3x faster and cheaper. So, I'm not moving. For narrow tasks it makes sense. Also interesting is the idea of having several models working together locally. With, may be, occasional ping to GPT-4.

I greatly prefer to use ChatGPT-4 instead of 3.5 despite the slowness. Really a good feature for them to have would be to easily re-run a prompt on 4. However, the glitchiness of the service is kind of annoying.

OpenAI currently leads the front on (commercial) AI, so I doubt people will switch. In fact most offerings become outdated pretty fast and everyone else tries to play catch up.

Imagine using a GPT-2 type model when everyone else is using GPT-4. Until the dust settles there's no point in investing in alt models imo, unless you're leading the research.
