?? LLMs on Fire ??

A few days ago, OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo reclaimed the top spot on the LMSys Chatbot Arena Leaderboard after briefly trailing behind its competitors Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus and Google’s Gemini Pro . Cohere , aka the secret superstar of LLMs , also made it to the top spot with Command R+ . Surprisingly, Databricks’ open model, DBRX , which claims to rival advanced models such as GPT-4, has yet to reach the top of the leaderboard.?

This is just a glimpse of what’s to come as Llama 3 and GPT-5 are poised to be launched this summer , heating up the LLM race to the next level.?

Among all the LLMs that made it to the leaderboard, Cohere’s Command R+ and Mistral Large clearly stand out, catching up in performance to more established, proprietary models, which is a significant step forward for open-source AI development, alongside setting the bar for Llama 3 and GPT-5 going forward.?

Besides Cohere and Mistral, open models by Alibaba , Nexusflow , and Microsoft also serve as potential alternatives for many developers and companies experimenting with building LLM-based applications. Open models by Databricks , Google , Meta , and DeepSeek are also emerging as promising alternatives to many enterprises .?

While the effectiveness of benchmarks like LMSys might not be accurate as they are likely inherently limited by human evaluation capabilities, the platform helps understand the current advancements in the LLM landscape at a global scale.?
