Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to run GPT3 and the subsequent finetuned versions thereof myself, but OpenAI has essentially no financial incentive to do so.
A few years ago, we could maybe lean on their open aspirations to get that done, but with the "limited profitibility model" they've since instead adopted, I think that dream is mostly gone.
At least we still get the occasional treat like Whisper out of them.
- ronsor 4y agoIt's not as if anyone could afford to self-host the giant GPT-3 model anyway.
- TOMDM 4y agoI'm rather sure there are a mid sized number of "anyones" who would buy the hardware required to run it given the opportunity. But I certainly agree that not everyone can, and very few individuals. The thing is a monster of a model.

- drdaeman 4y agoWhy not? Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've heard, It's not millions or hundreds of thousands, it's "only" tens of thousands dollars' of hardware we're talking about. There are enthusiasts that spend comparably on their hobbies. And a few dozen like minded people banding up together, shelling out a couple grands each? I'd say that's a totally realistic scenario.
