Are there good closed vs open LLM rankings? Also, are 70B–350B models actually worth it?

hey,

I’m currently getting enough VRAM to run something in the GLM-5.2 range, but I’m wondering: do we actually have a solid ranking that compares closed-source and open-weight LLMs side by side?

I’ve been trying to find a clear “closed vs open” leaderboard, but most benchmarks feel fragmented or don’t really answer the practical question of what’s actually best to run locally versus what’s only competitive through API models.

Also, are there any open models that feel as impressive for their size as something like GLM-5.2 or Qwen3.6 27B? I might be missing something, but a lot of the 70B–350B range feels kind of… empty? Like the size goes up massively, but the real-world quality jump doesn’t always feel worth the VRAM/complexity.

Maybe I’ve just missed the right models or benchmarks, so I’d love to hear what people are using and what actually feels worth running locally.
