How do you know if it’s open source? Well if it’s called something like “huggingface” or “redpajama” there’s a very good chance it’s made by people who have no marketing department. So good odds it’s free.
ChatGPT is pretty crap branding too, for the record. They just somehow managed to mainstream it. All the LLMs after it try to have cooler names (Bard, Copilot, etc.) but the kludgy first name is still better known.
I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.
ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.
Having a huge backing (i.e. OpenAI) helps…
I can tell its have huggingChat in list without even clicking the article.
“Sure, it is not perfect. But, sometimes it is incredibly helpful. No matter what you do with it, unfortunately, it is not an open-source solution.”
This article needed a better ai to write it .
Not mentioned in the list, but a project worth keeping an eye on:
“llamafile: bringing LLMs to the people, and to your own computer - Introducing the latest Mozilla Innovation Project llamafile, an open source initiative that collapses all the complexity of a full-stack LLM chatbot down to a single file that runs on six operating systems.”
I run Kobold locally, it is awesome
I’ve used GPT4All, and it’s one of the easier ones to get up and running I found. Everything just works out of the box.
Good! I’m looking to ditch most search engines (with the possible exception of Searx) since they have become so inundated with so much junk links. Louis Rossmann mentioned in one of his videos that he pays $20/month for GPT-4 since it fetches better results. But I’ll look into this before I do so. Thanks for sharing this.
Only show interest in open source software,

Both increase your privacy + prevent rate limits.
Thanks for the tip. Dodged another proprietary bullet.
Love the sentiment, and I agree, but anti consumer surveillance tech is here to stay, sadly. Can’t tell you how many people in my life have Alexa, FireTV and random shit like that.

This doesn’t mean that you have to surrender to it.
I was thinking the same until @Rikj000 responded to my comment. The defeat of the surveillance state (both private and government) relies on us.
