So what exactly is this? Open-source ChatGPT-alternatives have existed before and alongside ChatGPT the entire time, in the form of downloading oogabooga or a different interface and downloading an open source model from Huggingface. They aren't competitive because users don't have terabytes of VRAM or AI accelerators.

Edit: spelling. The Facebook LLM is pretty decent and has a huge amount of tokens. You can install it locally and feed your own data into the model so it will become tailor made.

I think you mean tailor. As in, clothes fitted to you.

No, some guy named Taylor has to train the model for you.

[–] Kindness@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Lol. My mistake.

[–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Good boy Taylor.

[–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Exactly, my auto carrot likes Taylor.

It's basically a UI for downloading and running models. You don't need terabytes of VRAM to run most models though. A decent GPU and 16 gigs of RAM or so works fine.
