I didn't know about this project. Thanks to the takedown notice I'll immediatelly clone it and start using it.
Thank you OpenAI for playing a role in me finding an alternative!
- 64operator 4y agoIt's been taken down, how can you clone it? Anyway if anybody has links to a mirror that'd be great. Still wondering why people don't self-host.
- hallway_monitor 4y agoIt's still available, just cloned it.
- jesprenj 4y agoA mirror I just made: http://ni.4a.si/anonymous/gpt4free/ http://ni.4a.si/anonymous/gpt4free/ It's still available on github.
- psychphysic 4y agoTo be honest I don't think they care about it being alternative. Just that people keep obnoxiously naming their projects after them for visibility. Imo this is exactly how this kind of polite takedown should be used. If it highlighted it to you great because at least you know for sure it's not OpenAIs product.
- tyingq 4y agoI suppose, since the substring "gpt4" is there. But, "generative pre-trained transformer -> gpt" seems fair game. Other companies use that acronym, so there's "EinsteinGPT", "BloombergGPT", etc.
- overthrow 4y agoGPT is a generic acronym - the wikipedia article writes it out in lowercase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_pre-trained_transformer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_pre-trained_transfo... gpt4free means "gpt for free" and also predates GPT-4. I don't think it was meant to be obnoxious or cause confusion.
- psychphysic 4y agoThey should just call it FreeGPT that's what FreeBSD did. So did FreeNAS, FreePascal and FreeType. But it's clear and obvious to me that they saw GPT2 then GPT3 and thought well let's pun on it with GPT4. First line of the wiki you link > Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are a family of large language models (LLMs),[1][2] which was introduced in 2018 by the American artificial intelligence organization *OpenAI* Emphasis added.
- spookie 4y agoI'm sorry but that doesn't track. There's no need to be this agressive.
- radarsat1 4y agoDigression, but why do they call it "pre-trained"? Don't they train it from scratch? Or is the point that they pretrain it and it's intended only for downstream fine tuning ok specific tasks? If so, does ChatGPT use a fine-tuned version? Is the non-finetuned version good for anything on its own?
- dcow 4y agoGo for it, it’s not a GPT4 alternative anyway. Just an confusingly named project that muddies the waters.
- MacsHeadroom 4y agoIt is literally GPT4. This is not the similarly named open source LLM "GPT4All." GPT4Free is an API reverse engineering and proxy project which exposes an API to use GPT4 by proxy through GPT4 based services like the search engine Phind. Essentially you are using the reverse engineered services OpenAI credits to access GPT4 instead of using your own OpenAI account.
- dcow 4y agoThen these services need to model their threats with more sophistication. The existence of this project indicates there are security vulnerabilities in services that use OpenAI. In any case, I maintain that increased attention to this topic is a good thing rather than a bad thing, which is contrary to what GGP was suggesting when they referenced the Streisand effect.
- blatant303 4y agoNo. Thank YOU for giving me the idea of cloning that repo.
