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.
Lol. My mistake.
Good boy Taylor.
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.
