Wanted to share a resource I stumbled on that I can’t wait to try and integrate into my projects.
A GPT4All model is a 3GB - 8GB file that you can download and plug into the GPT4All open-source ecosystem software. Nomic AI supports and maintains this software ecosystem to enforce quality and security alongside spearheading the effort to allow any person or enterprise to easily train and deploy their own on-edge large language models.
I believe Claude 2 is the best LLM option currently, if you live in the US or UK or have a VPN.
I’m using it from Canada without a VPN, just using the email login method (with an iCloud account if it matters).
Claude 2 isn’t free though, is it?
Either way, it does depends on what you want to use it for. Claude 2 is very biased towards positivity and it can be like pulling teeth if you’re asking it to generate anything it even remotely disapproves of. In that sense, Claude 1 is the superior option.
