Yeah, 7B models are just not quite there.

There are tons of places to get free access to bigger models. I'd suggest Jamba, Kimi, Deepseek Chat, and Google AI Studio, and the new GLM chat app: https://chat.z.ai/

And depending on your hardware, you can probably run better MoEs at the speed of 8Bs. Qwen3 30B is so much smarter its not even funny, and faster on CPU.
