"The events are unfolding rapidly, and new Large Language Models (LLM) are
being developed at an increasing pace. Just in the last months, we had the
disruptive ChatGPT and now GPT-4. To clarify the definitions, GPT stands for
(Generative Pre-trained Transformer) and is the underlying language model, and
ChatGPT is a specific implementation designed for conversation. Bill Gates
reflected on the work of OpenAI by saying, “The Age of AI has begun”. If you
are feeling that it is hard to keep up with the rapid change, you are not
alone. Just now, more than 1,000 researchers signed a petition to pause
training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for the next six months.
While the technical achievements are remarkable, they remain behind closed
doors. Despite its name, OpenAI has been long criticized by some for not
releasing their models and is even called ClosedAI by some. Researchers and
enthusiasts alike are striving for open-source alternatives.
If you missed the recent developments, you should check out Meta’s LLaMA
(GitHub), which is supposed to outperform GPT-3. It is licensed under a GNU
license, and while it is not strictly open-source, you can get the weights
after registering. This openness was clearly for the benefit of LLaMA, and the
community quickly continued to develop this. It was quickly ported to C/C++ in
the form of llama.cpp and researchers from Stanford extended it to an
instruction-following model such as ChatGPT and dubbed it Alpaca. There is also
GPT4All, which this blog post is about. I will introduce it shortly, and at the
end, you will see how you can run it locally and what to expect."
