I think this is perfectly reasonable. 700 million is a lot and it would be unreasonable profit to that amount off someone else’s R&D

The best part is tech companies built these models from content they did not pay for.

Seems like a clever way to ensure direct competitors cannot use the service, but otherwise leave it open for everyone else.

I think we're still waiting for the ultimate coding LLM setup:

1. Able to run locally on a high end GPU (IE. M3 Max/Nvidia 4080)

2. Able to read the entirety of a decent sized codebase

3. As good as GPT4 (coding only)

4. Free or $10 or less/month

Wouldn't ultimate setup be more like "runs on a raspberry pi"?

Just trying to be reasonably realistic.

I don’t think the Pi has enough flops
