I like the Mistral models. Not the smartest but I find them to have good conversation while being small, fast and efficient.
And the part I like the most is there is almost no censorship, at least not for the models I tried. For me, having an uncensored model is one of the most compelling reasons for running a LLM locally. Jailbreaks are a PITA and abliteration and other uncensoring fine-tunings tends to make models that have been made dumb by censorship even dumber.
