> I’m worried about where we’ll end up in two, five, or ten years from now if the energies of free and open source developers continue to be directed mainly toward closed models like GPT-4. That's a bit of a buried lede. I'm not really worried about that, though - last I checked, it's still perfectly legal to mimic someone else's API. If you want to provide an OpenAI-to-llama.cpp compatibility layer, nobody will stop you (in theory). Unless/until there's some standardized way of interfacing with these models, I don't think it's fair to blame other companies for malicious non-compliance.
