Right now GPT4 is useful/powerful and probably anything else sucks. That may change but the mountain has real value at the top only. At least for
chat used for either human assist or decision making or code generation. Categorisation, yeah you can use lesser LLMs.
- npsomaratna 3y agoNot necessarily true anymore. As a counterexample, consider CodeLlama 33b, which is quite good (and which has replaced GPT-4 for my coding assistant needs). OpenAI's models are likely to remain the best, but I see open models catching up and becoming "good enough." Why pay for GPT-4 when I can run a model locally for free? (Barring the initial capital cost of a GPU; and not even this if you're, say, using a Macbook)
- revoxx3 3y agoWhat's CodeLlama 33b? I couldn't find anything regarding it online
- jsemrau 3y agoI guess its a typo https://huggingface.co/codellama/CodeLlama-34b-hf https://huggingface.co/codellama/CodeLlama-34b-hf

- quickthrower2 3y agoJust a 1B mistake

- JTon 3y agoNot 100% sure but I believe Llama [1] is a LLM created by meta. Code Llama is probably one tailored as a coding assistant [1] https://ai.meta.com/llama/ https://ai.meta.com/llama/
- npsomaratna 3y agoWhoops, sorry. 34b :)
- hansvm 3y agoCodeLlama spit out some of the wildest garbage when I tested it, even against GPT-3.5. Which tasks have you found it to perform well?
- emptysongglass 3y agoLike yes, as long as GPT-4 remains the most useful (and now they have multi-modality in Plus so they've just extended their lead) nobody will adopt anything else. So grandparent's argument makes even less sense as search should also be fungible but it isn't when Google still provides the best search product and has since it started. If OpenAI can maintain that lead and continue to ship improvements that continue to push their peak higher, most people will not pay for anything less even when that price is free.
- HKH2 3y agoThe GP didn't say who the value was meant to be for. There is definitely a lot of value for users, regardless of which model. I would like LLaMa to be more local, responsive and private rather than more intelligent; it is good enough in that regard.
- jokethrowaway 3y agoNo way, for creative writing zephyr (based on mistral) is my favourite. Also no stupid limits like chatgpt For assistance, chatgpt is the best but llama is more than adequate. For code generation they all suck, chatgpt 4 before they nerfed it was good. I use codellama phind locally
- HKH2 3y agoI don't work in tech and I use LLaMa. It is great for giving me ideas, writing overviews which I use to make sure I have most of my bases covered (and helping me see which of my ideas are more original), getting more examples, along with other creative tasks. Could I get my employer to pay for it if all free options disappeared? Probably, but I don't have to while they exist.
