Man, imagine If you can run it locally and let it parse all of your documents, so you can ask it questions like when does my passport expires, or what is my Wife's ID number and so on.

The future will most likely be "upload it to the cloud and ask the question there". Really sad but but it seems like most people seem to not care about privacy even for the most sensitive parts of their lives. Or even worse they mistrust "the government" but place great trust in "companies which are easily pressured or raided by more than one government". It doesn't make sense at all. (Edit: I don't think a well run…

Control is why I want to see more "open source" version of machine learning models be it over data or auditing the output and if I can p2p download a model I know we're in a good place.

Take the internet, I could see my path being very different if we had to pay per minute like a phone plan to get information, having open access was a big bootstrap here.

Finally of course there are problems with the Linux project, but would servers dictated only by M$oft/0r@cle be a positive outcome, gonna say no.

I will support and pay for this project. I thought about the same problem. Companies have lots of marketing material and data sheets that are not easily queried but would be very useful to support staff when dealing with customer's questions. I didn't build it, they did. They get my support.

Anything that relies on the ChatGPT API is subject to being insta-killed the moment OpenAI decides its not good to have them around. Productivity tools shouldn't depend on external parties like that.

You are 100% right, people are building on sand if they think any VC will fund any who doesn't own the model underpinning there products.

I agree. But the problem will be solved regardless of GPT. I don't think the whole stack relies on GPT for this solution. Some parts maybe, but the whole of the project is more than that.

You can swap openai for models on huggingface.co but the quality is not equal yet.

No, you completely miss the point. It's like complaining that a musician cannot practice their instrument without software that requires you to be always-online. > Even if it was open source no user would be able to run it locally anyway. You are just stating this, it does not make it true. Several of us are running GPT-3 workloads locally.

> Several of us are running GPT-3 workloads locally. Unless you work for OpenAI (and your “local” machine somehow has 1TB+ of VRAM, equivalent to roughly 25 A100s), this cannot possibly be true…

1.7k forks… https://github.com/openai/gpt-3

apart from that, several pre trained corpuses had been around for a while

That's like complaining that a musician doesn't build their own piano. Or actually, it's like asking why they don't build their own piano factory. No sole developer has the skills or resources to build something like GPT. Even if it was open source no user would be able to run it locally anyway.

Do you mind sharing how? I didn't think the model was available to download and thought it was api only?

I've already built this and you can use this as a guide, being PII we just need to swap openai for a model on huggingface.co, this let's you do the question answering part run locally. https://dagster.io/blog/chatgpt-langchain

But it still requires uploading sensitive data to the cloud. I want it completely local, I ain't uploading things like my passport and birth certificate to OpenAI.

That repo just seems to be a bunch of JSON files and sample outputs. Am I missing something?

Yesterday, an undergraduate from Sri Lanka released KnowledgeGPT[1] which allows you to upload your docs and get answers from ChatGPT. It also uses FAISS so I'm wondering if DocsGPT is somehow related or inspired by the former. It also appears the Github library for DocsGPT was created shortly after the release of KnowledgeGPT. 1: https://github.com/mmz-001/knowledge_gpt

Was it important to say the country of origin?

Was it important to ask if it was important to say the country if origin?

Seeing https://github.com/arc53/docsgpt/blob/main/application/combi... is just fascinating to me. It's absolutely where this all is headed, but to see it as source code evokes something in me.

I know its crazy, there are also some other promts that I have not edited from LangChain that acutally run in the background

This is really the quality of projects we're upvoting? This is a python script that calls another API.

Ahhh.. I agree, I wanted to make it higher quality, but I was working on it during this week and was just too excited to share it. Would have been happy with few upvotes, but to be on the front page is absolutely crazy for me
