Given the high prices of OpenAI offerings it seems it’s better to pirate an AI model before resorting to paying for anything.

Isn't openAI only charging something like a 20th of a penny per interaction right now? Definitely not the kind of thing you want to incorporate into a widespread free app just yet, but it seems pretty affordable for a lot of use cases

Hardly. I've played a lot with the 7,13, and 30B llamas as well as the 7 and 13B alpacas fine tuned by Stanford. They do not have emergent abilities like being able to generate rhymes or, say, represent a movie plot as emoji. Even openai's old text-davinci-003 (gpt3.5, but text completion, not the chat ones) far outperforms them. That said, I have hopes for a 65B 3-bit quantized alpaca-fine tuned. We'll see when some…

For me the easiest comparison between models is to give it an absurd but entirely possible request, like "Write me a fanfic where the Animorphs battle the truck from Duel, but in the style of Mark Twain". So far nothing else I've tried has done even as well as GPT 3.5 yet, let alone GPT 4.

Where does one find the 13B alpaca model?

Be aware this file is a single ~8GB 4-bit model (ggml-alpaca-13b-q4.bin) instead of the 2x ~4GB models (ggml-model-q4_0.bin, ggml-model-q4_0.bin.1) that most llama.cpp style inference running programs expect. You'll probably have to edit the line,

    n_parts = LLAMA_N_PARTS.at(hparams.n_embd);
in chat.cpp (or main.cpp) to hard code it to treat this 1 file model properly like,

    n_parts = 1;
Or re-write the parameter config subroutine to recognize and handle non-standard weights file.

The incredible contribution of Alpaca is showing the world how to efficicently train LLM on instructions. The fact that it did so on 52k instructions generated by GPT is poetic.

It does not matter what current capabilities of open source models are, because this opens the door to tremendous democratization of the ability to train and self-deploy these models.

In less than 6 months we will have open source models with gpt3-like capabilities, running locally on laptops, and potentially in phones and web browsers.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Governments have experience limiting the spread of digital content. For now at least, AI proliferation is not immune to those same tactics.

Governments are really bad at limiting the spread of digital content.

Literally only China somewhat succeeds, and that's because everything is top-down controlled by the government.

That is my experience as well. I've tried various models but nothing comes even close to the current ChatGPT implementation (when it manages to stay up).

3 bits? Is that for all weights in the network?

I have not found alpaca to be comparable to chatgpt, but it could be because of bugs in the version I installed through dalai. I might try reinstalling it because I suspect there might be some sort of file corruption issue or whatever.

I gave it the prompt “cats aren’t always fuzzy” and it wrote a lengthy livejournal-esque rambling journal entry about a woman and her husband having money issues. It was funny, but lightyears away from chatgpt.

It does sometimes create some really funny hallucinations though, like inventing prefectures in Japan that don’t exist etc.
