Oh boy, how surprising.

So the development of inorganic intelligence, considered by many as an inflection point in human civilisation is to be handed to business graduates who are historically proven to be capable of any level of atrocity in the name of corporate greed. America, fuck yeah.

Stop depending on these proprietary LLMs. Go to !localllama@sh.itjust.works.

There are open-source LLMs you can run on your own computer if you have a powerful GPU. Models like OLMo and Falcon are made by true non-profits and universities, and they reach GPT-3.5 level of capability.

There are also open-weight models that you can run locally and fine-tune to your liking (although these don’t have open-source training data or code). The best of these (Alibaba’s Qwen, Meta’s llama, Mistral, Deepseek, etc.) match and sometimes exceed GPT 4o capabilities.

I thought they were a for-profit company all this time.

No problem, after they release all the data collected under the excuse of public good and progress.

That's very open of them

Shocking nobody

Booooooooooo!

Anyway: ill just keep using alpaca to run llms locally

So, ads in chat now?

There was never another outcome.

Capitalism breeds one thing, and it certainly isn't innovation, and it most definitely isnt not-for-profit innovation.

Hahaha. April 1st is early this year.
They are never going to make enough money by selling licenses and subscriptions for the cost of their current models (smarter people than me have made good estimates), let alone the future ones. Those future models are at a much worse performance-cost ratio. Ads will at best bring in about 1 usd per user per month (estimated by Facebook revenue and number of users) - double or triple it just for lolz, and they would still be losing money.
So… how will this be pulled off? Only wrong answers!

No kidding. 🙀

Didnt they do this like a year ago

Lol like it wasn't always.

This is going to sound weird but so is the internet their icon suggests a chain of bodies eating out the ass of the one in front of them which to me seems apt for the product
