Tell HN: I won't use Google's language models in production
Having a look at https://killedbygoogle.com/, you can see tons of "cool" ideas that were once a Google product, but ended up being canceled by Google for various reasons.
As someone who's investing in large language models for the long term, I just can't trust that Google won't kill Bard or any other LLM in their line.
My gut feeling is that any product that isn't directly making money for Google, will stop at some point. It's a sad reality because I so desperately want there to be competition in this field so that ClosedAI doesn't get away with dumbing down their gpt4 without consequences.

My bot calls LocalAI, which uses the same API as OpenAI does: https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI Porting an app over to it's API only requires you to change the endpoint and the name of the model you're calling. It uses the same API schema as OpenAI and works like a charm. No need to mope about lack of alternatives, vote with your feet and move. > It's a sad reality because I so desperately want there to be competition AI doesn't move fast. The hype moves fast - training models and raising capital doesn't.
