What's currently the 'smartest' language model? (lemm.ee)

Looking for an "AI" that would tackle my day-to-day issues that are not related to programming, for example acting as a personal assistant / life coach, creating lesson plans for classes I teach at school, explaining how things work and teaching me new skills effectively, etc.

I need it to be able to consider web search options for more comprehensive answers.

Doesn't have to be free, as I'd be happy to pay if it's truly worth it.

So far I've tried:

Most common options at Poe, including Claude Sonnet 3.5, GPT4o and others. The issue here is that I'm not seeing which one is actually smarter and which one hallucinates more.
Perplexity
Phind
Gemini
Bing AI

I have never had a GPT4 subscription so I might consider that if it's objectively the best option.

What can you recommend? 🙂

GPT-4 is apparently the model to beat. I haven't seen all that much difference in practice between GPT-4 and 4o. I've heard various claims about various other models outperforming it (notably including Claude) but I haven't seen the claims materialize over the long haul as yet.

I have however heard that Mistral can get quite close to GPT-4, run for free locally with the right hardware, if you build up a hand curated set of around 100 query/response pairs from GPT-4 that are what you want it to do, and then fine-tune Mistral against that training set. I haven't tried it but that's what I've heard.

And also, any recommendations on a specific GPT4 addon or is the base model pretty much perfect as is?

GPT-4 generally doesn’t need fine tuning or anything no
