> How important is it to be using SOTA?

I believe in using the best model for each use case. Since I’m paying for it, I like to find out which model is the best bang for my buck.

The problem is that, even when comparing models according to different use cases, better models eventually appear, and the models one uses eventually change as well — for better or worse. This means that using the same model over and over doesn’t seem like a good decision.
