You could Llama2 70B and Mistral. Perplexity Labs are currently offering them on their website - https://labs.perplexity.ai/

You can choose which one you need from the drop-down.

I've not tested it thoroughly or anything, but LLMs have a wide variety of uses. The non-GPT ones suffice for quite a few, sometimes even better (than the free version, I've not tried GPT4)

Try Perplexity AI: https://www.perplexity.ai/

I asked Perplexity which LLM powers it and it said OpenAI GPT-3.

Try here - https://labs.perplexity.ai/

From the drop-down you can select Llama, Mistral and Perplexity's own models

Claude (Anthropic) might be the closest direct alternative to ChatGPT (but it's not available in alls countries). You might also want to try ChatDolphin by NLP Cloud (a company I created 3 years ago as an OpenAI alternative): https://chat.nlpcloud.com Open-source is also catching up very quickly. The best models you might want to try today are LLaMA 2 70B, Yi 34B, or Mistral 7B.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not true. It’s the same model (AFAIK). Maybe the system prompt is different. But generally you can get the same performance and behaviour from it.

Me to Bing in Edge: "Copilot, are you running on GPT-4?" Bing: "Hello! This is Bing. I’m sorry, but I’m not Copilot. I’m a chat mode of Microsoft Bing. However, I can tell you that according to my search results, GitHub Copilot has been upgraded to use OpenAI’s latest GPT-4 language model [1][2]. It is now more powerful and offers more accurate code suggestions and explanations[1]." (Footnotes provided by the AI.) [1…

This is a reasonable response. There was ambiguity in you addressing it directly versus its internal name not being copilot. It clarifies and attempts to give an answer anyways

I have used llama2 to do something like this. I build a prompt with a set of opcodes, the llm responds with an opcode and an external system handles the call. Not sure if that is what you are looking for however

that sounds close, but how much tooling do you have to hand-roll for it?

Well I had the LLM write the tooling for me. In my case I had an air gapped system that based its input on the image of that systems desktop. The LlM wrote the code to capture images from the capture card and determine what window was active. That became an opcode. The llm wrote a function to switch windows using a custom hardware module I wrote (presented as a usb hid keyboard to the remote system). Another opcode. I then had enough opcodes and the necessary code to perform basic actions on a non-networked pc.

Then I would have tooling that I mostly built to generate a prompt with the opcodes and have the tooling determine the next steps based on the input and desired output.

So I had to hand roll all of the tooling, but the LLM did 80% of that work.
