That's why open research groups like EleutherAI are critical. They've used elbow grease and enthusiasm to follow in the tracks of OpenAI and Microsoft, and some of their members have prolifically coded implementations of the latest and greatest theory in papers. Huggingface is also worthy of great praise, making the models accessible and lowering the barrier to actual commercial use. Lastly, Google deserves props for Colab. You can run models that are 80% as good as the ones which initially cost millions of usd to produce. Even the free tier is excellent, and I've pointed various people to them as a resource for developing practical hands-on experience with machine learning. This is a wonderful ai summer we're having, appreciate it while you can!
