In this link this discussion:
The memo, which was obtained by SemiAnalysis from a public Discord server, says that neither Google nor OpenAI have what they need to succeed in the AI industry. Instead, the researcher claims “a third faction has been quietly eating our lunch”: open-source AI models that the researcher says are “faster, more customizable, more private, and pound-for-pound more capable.”
WHO IS THE THIRD FACTION?
Can I, as a dumb end-user, use models from there?
Yes! …well, with a caveat.
Huggingface models (even the ones published to the platform by Google or fb) are available for anyone to use, but they’re not quite intended to be chatbots; they’re more like pretrained machine learning models for data science pipelines.
Still, if you know python or are willing to learn, you can use huggingface however you want. You’re totally allowed to download a model, open it in python, and ask questions to it. Or feed it a long text and ask for summaries etc.
Yeah no I guess I'm more looking for the open-source end-products I could use similarly to chatGPT or midjourney etc. I did learn a bit of python a while back but I'm no coder.
Yeah, Oobabooga let’s you easily download models from HuggingFace and has a chat interface.
