There's a lot of beauty to the openness. The publishing of the transformer paper allowed the flourishing of AI now. You throw research into the world and the world responds. And there's been a lot of subsequent activity that resulted in where we are today. On average, research is slower if it is disseminated by fewer people. But these publications, ideas, and lines of code are also being disseminated to China. Believe me, I understand the value of openness. Before Sun, there wasn't an open source tradition. NFS was the first real commercial product that was open sourced. Linux came later, and I was a real believer. But I'm not now. If you're optimizing for making the fastest possible progress, then throw your work into the hands of the greatest number of people at the lowest possible cost. That's the recipe for fast progress. And that is basic science. But this is not basic science. This is The Manhattan Project.
Wow. This was impossible days ago. Open Interpreter v0.1.2— released this morning— can setup most HuggingFace models for offline use with one command. It's local, private, and free. $ pip install --upgrade open-interpreter $ interpreter --model tiiuae/falcon-180B
