I’m really struggling to find a use case for these local models when even ChatGPT 3.5 can do it as good as any of them so far.

Not everyone wants to send all their data to OpenAI or Microsoft. Sometimes it isn't legally possible even if you want to. And not every use-case is blessed with a permanent internet connection.

And for some use-cases, the "alignment" work on GPT 3.5 and 4 gets more in the way than it helps (even OpenAI admits that alignment makes the model perform worse, even on generic benchmarks).
