Hold your damn horses, this technology is brand new, requires a tremendous amount of data gathering and computation, there's a massive volunteer effort already

Hold your damn horses, this technology is brand new, requires a tremendous amount of data gathering and computation, there's a massive volunteer effort already under way, and you're begging for a free home version so you can save $0.02 cents. You want a hole, pick up a shovel.

> Hold your damn horses, this technology is brand new, requires a tremendous amount of data gathering and computation, there's a massive volunteer effort already under way, and you're begging for a free home version so you can save $0.02 cents. You want a hole, pick up a shovel. $0.02 cents per API request. What I would like to do is provide people a free service on the internet that using an LLM under the hood. If you are so rich that you can burn $10k on an internet hobby project, good for you, but just know that everybody else is not as rich as you. Also I wasn't "begging for a free home version". In my original question I already provided one option. Sorry, I mean "one free home version". So it's not like I was starved out of options. There are options. I was asking for recommendations.

  Even openAI with the massive success and popularity gain can not sustain keeping it for free. The 0.02$ cents is a bargain for the value provided. OPs point was most of us can't burn 10k on a internet hobby project, and it costs probably 10x-100x more to train. How would you expect to provide people a free service? People are training it to open source right now, so please be patient.

You know, there are considerations far more important than money that might want someone to have an offline version. I'd gladly pay $0.02 cents/api call if I could be absolutely certain my queries weren't be used for evil. Sadly, that's not possible.
