I was wondering if there was a company working towards releasing an open source equivalent to GPT-3.5 in the same way stable diffusion was open sourced (releasing actual weights)?
It lends itself very well to a kickstarter type model, where early investors could get repaid in AI use at below market rates on the backend. There's a lot of gaslighting about the difficulty from people who fear hazards, real or imagined, once good custom models start floating around for people to reshape or pare down. A fun one would be training some AIs to make plausible but slightly longer and worse edits, and take sides in editorial disputes with whoever was the weaker side. The time sink, wariness of bots/ensuing accusations, and trend towards massive and uninteresting articles would destroy wikipedia within a year.
Alpa is pretty neat. Only 3.0 though. Based on metas. There is a form to fill if you want the full sets.
