Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is that (i.e. GPT) not still a service? What people want is something they can run on their own hardware without sending their queries to some third party service which is doing who knows what with them. This is already possible if you want to mess around with green code that isn't in system repositories yet and buy expensive hardware to make it fast, but you can imagine why some people don't have the time or money f…

I mean you don't need to use GPT, it's just if you wanted to build the product in OP (ChatGPT tuned for your site) you would.

Hence the demand for something else.

Apple's GPU doesn't benchmark much different than competing iGPUs for gaming. It may be that the only thing stopping anyone from running this stuff on existing iGPUs is software support.

Something else would not be ChatGPT tuned for your site. Like I said there are other models, but a lot of people want ChatGPT as they currently interact with it but with additional knowledge about their website. This is that.

GPGPU is not gaming. Unified memory means that Apple Silicon's "RAM" can be compared to VRAM for inference.

Ok is this really "training" a new model on the data? Or are you breaking it down into vector embeddings, and then using an embeddings search against the relevant content and then passing that into the context window of the OpenAI API?

This is cool, thanks for putting it together — but I think we as a group of designers and engineers should get our language right. If we mean creating embeddings — we should say it, since "training a new model" is very different from using embeddings...

It's pretty straightforward to build something like this.

Pseudo:

    embedding = OpenAI.generate_embedding(some_question)

    embedding_matches = pinecone.query(embedding)
    context_strings = embedding_matches.context_strings

    OpenAI.chat(some_question + context_strings)
You give OpenAI's chat API something like:

    """
    This is my user question, how old is James bond?
 
    using this context answer this question:

    {{from doc: james bon is 19 years old}}
    """
Really powerful, really useful - but really simple to create.

These AI chatbots on websites are beyond useless, and LLMs won't make them any better. When you go to the chat-based support interface on a website, it's usually because you've read the entire contents of the website and didn't find what you are looking for. Now you will just get a hallucinated answer, with no indication as to whether it's a human or AI you're talking to.

As someone who spends a lot of time answering user questions in chat support, I sincerely wish more people bothered to read the website or at least try the search box first.

OpenAI provides a demo to do this in their docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/tutorials/web-qa-embeddings IME doing this task the scraping isn't easy to generalize. the embed / chat part is honestly low hanging fruit on top of the openAI api. if you're capable of scraping the content you want to do this with I'd say whip it up yourself. its a 15m project.

Cool they monitized the tutorial

Sorry but I am not going to pay for this before trying it out on my content. Surely there can be a test function within the website which allows me to see what a user would experience?

Yeah, I didn't know how much that is going to cost me if I added a free trial. But I can create a demo for you if you like. Give me an example web page link for which you want the chatbot. I will create one and post the link here. Just a single page url.

I don’t mean to be harsh, but if running a free trial would bankrupt you, you shouldn’t be trying to start a company.

It also doesn’t inspire much confidence in your early users, there’s been a lot of these GPT API cashgrabs popping up all over so if you want to differentiate yourself you might need to actually incur some risk.

You can do it yourself with this repo and only pay the OpenAI API fees: https://github.com/mpaepper/content-chatbot
