    How do you know if it’s open source? Well if it’s called something like “huggingface” or “redpajama” there’s a very good chance it’s made by people who have no marketing department. So good odds it’s free.

      ChatGPT is pretty crap branding too, for the record. They just somehow managed to mainstream it. All the LLMs after it try to have cooler names (Bard, Copilot, etc.) but the kludgy first name is still better known.

        GPT in French is literally pronounced the same as “I farted”.

        I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

        ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

    Not mentioned in the list, but a project worth keeping an eye on:

      I’m honestly more interested by the OS-agnostic executable than by the LLM here. How?

        Here’s the answer, but I have absolutely no idea what it means…

        https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan

        Cosmopolitan Libc makes C a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn’t need an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

    Good! I’m looking to ditch most search engines (with the possible exception of Searx) since they have become so inundated with so much junk links. Louis Rossmann mentioned in one of his videos that he pays $20/month for GPT-4 since it fetches better results. But I’ll look into this before I do so. Thanks for sharing this.

      Only show interest in open source software,
      let the anti consumer surveillance tech companies drown.

      For SearX,
      checkout these random SearX redirectors:

      • GimmeASearX - Self Hosted
        https://github.com/demostanis/gimmeasearx
      • SearX NeoCities - Publicly Hosted https://searx.neocities.org/

      Both increase your privacy + prevent rate limits.

        Love the sentiment, and I agree, but anti consumer surveillance tech is here to stay, sadly. Can’t tell you how many people in my life have Alexa, FireTV and random shit like that.

          I was thinking the same until @Rikj000 responded to my comment. The defeat of the surveillance state (both private and government) relies on us.

    I’ve used GPT4All, and it’s one of the easier ones to get up and running I found. Everything just works out of the box.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
