There was a post asking people their opinions about Edge and many people seemed to liked the idea of Edge and seemed to be ok having it on Linux (Blasphemy)

Also, can we all agree how fast Edge went from joke to a threat? I mean, it’s good now alright! It was good back then, but it’s better now. Money man!!! Money! Personally I hate MS, but I can’t help but see the fact that there is no alternative to Bing GPT and many features Bing offers on Linux.

If there is an open source ChatGPT how would it look? Who would bear the costs? How would we solve the server problem? i.e., it would take a ton of server space and bandwidth. Just wondering.

I am pretty sure MS products will improve greatly due to their integration with GPT what do us poor folks on Linux do?

Just want to know the answers, I don’t want to discuss (aka can’t comment, I need to study), but just curious!

    KoboldAI has an “KoboldGPT” mode, which is for answering questions. You can try it at https://lite.koboldai.net/ or run it on your own.

    Here’s an example conversation I just had with it (emoji icons added):


    🤖 Hello, I am KoboldGPT, your personal AI assistant. What would you like to know?

    🧑 What is the name of the original version of the game Monopoly?

    🤖 The original version of the game Monopoly is called “The Landlord’s Game.” It was created by Elizabeth Magie in the early 20th century. However, the most well-known version of Monopoly today is based on a variant called “Monopoly” that was designed by Charles Darrow in 1935.

    🧑 Did “The Landlord’s Game” have any purpose besides being a board game?

    🤖 Yes, “The Landlord’s Game” had a specific purpose beyond being a board game. Elizabeth Magie created it as a way to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. She believed that it could be used as a tool for teaching economic concepts such as rent, taxes, and the distribution of wealth.

    🧑 What economic ideology was associated with this game?

    🤖 Elizabeth Magie was influenced by Henry George’s philosophy of Georgism. Georgists believe that land should belong to all people equally, and that taxation should be based on the value of land rather than on income or production.

    As others said you can host Koboldai on your own, and if you don’t have a powerful GPU, anyone can use powerful llm models via the AI horde

    petals.dev It’s basically bittorrent for AI. A public swarm for running and training LLMs.

    I think it’s far more likely that easier solutions to hosting your own LLM/ChatGPT/etc will be pushed, rather than someone (or a group of someones) offering and maintaining it - as you mentioned, that takes a lot of resources. Think about the issues that various Fediverse software has had in terms of keeping up with the load sometimes, and LLMs use way more than most Fediverse applications. Especially if you want it to be as snappy as the current ones already out there.

      Huggingchat is pretty good. And the model is Open source. No need for a phone number in your account and not by a company whose name is hypocritical even.

    For images there are foss options that you can run locally, like stable diffusion which is so good that it rivals its proprietary counterparts.
    But for text it’s a horror, there are some you can try (see gpt4all), but in general chatgpt has no real competition; the foss options are currently very bad, and even the proprietary options from big corporations like bard or llama are pitiful.

    but I can’t help but see the fact that there is no alternative to Bing GPT

    Regarding this, there are other services that also use GPT for search, here a couple:
