    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.

      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 Taylor made.

      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.
