“No one can compete with us, but it’s cute to try! Make applications though” —almost direct quote from Sam Altman.
I have 64gb and an RTX 3090 and a macbook M3, and I already can’t run a lot of the newest models even in their quantized form.
The business model requires this to be a subscription service. At least as of today…
Llama is getting better and better, I heard this and Llama 3 will start to be good as GPT-4. Who would have thought that Meta, that has been chucking billions on the metaverse is on the forefront of Open Source AI. Not to mention their stock is up and they are worth $1TN, again. Not sure how I feel about this given the fact of all the scandals that have plagued them and the massive 1BN fine from the EU, Cambridge Ana…
I'm really curious what their goal is
There's far more risk if Meta were to try to directly compete with OpenAI and Microsoft on this. They'd have to manage the infra, work to acquire customers, etc, etc on top of building these massive models. If it's not a space they really want to be in, it's a space they can easily disrupt.
Meta's late game realization was that Google owned the web via search and Apple took over a lot of the mobile space with their walled garden. I suspect Meta's view now is that it's much easier to just prevent something like this from happening with AI early on.
Not sure who this is aimed at? The avg programmer probably doesn’t have the gear on hand to run this at the required pace Cool nonetheless

Commoditizing your complement. If all your competitors need a key technology to get ahead, you make a cheap/free version of it so that they can't use it as a competitive advantage.
Put another way - if OpenAI were the only game in town how much would they be charging for their product? They’re competing on price because competitors exist. Now imagine the price if a hypothetical high quality open source model existed that can customers can use for “free”.
That’s the future Meta wants. They weren’t getting rich selling shovels like cloud providers are, they want everyone digging. And everyone digs when the shovels are free.
There is a bait and switch going on, and sam altman or mark zuckerberg are the first to tell you. “No one can compete with us, but it’s cute to try!

Realistically, what hardware would be required to run this? I assumed a RTX 3090 would be enough?
