From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm looking for an open-source alternative to ChatGPT which is community-driven. I have seen some open-source large language models, but they're usually still made by some organizations and published after the fact. Instead, I'm looking for one where anyone can participate: discuss ideas on how to improve the model, write code, or donate computational resources to build it. Is there such a project?

At this point, I'd like to see better regulation about usage of user data for training before this gets approached by the FOSS community. Ideally we should see a regulatory bloodbath where AI training data is concerned (using other people's data or creation without explicit consent, and ultimately regurgitating that data, as LLMs do).

*I don't think we'll ever see sufficient regulation at all -- but we should. Use of data in the way needed and quantities needed clearly call for it, in my view
