I think it won’t be long before open source models will be good enough to be good enough, such that the responsible thing to do (for those technically capable) will be to learn how to self-host them. Give it two, three years and I think there will be open models of GPT-4 ish quality that can be run on <$10k of hardware, customized and tuned based on whatever data you want them to be, and capable of agent-type behavior like searching the web. To have a tool like that self-hosted on a server that I control is what I’m waiting for.
