Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm looking for an open-source alternative to ChatGPT which is community-driven. I have seen some open-source large language models, but they're usually still made by some organizations and published after the fact. Instead, I'm looking for one where anyone can participate: discuss ideas on how to improve the model, write code, or donate computational resources to build it. Is there such a project?

There's a lot of people working on large language models. The fastest performing ones are based on Llama, which is a leaked model from Facebook. There are many llama-based models on huggingface.co. The best software to run them is oobabooga textgen UI or koboldcpp. The smaller models run pretty fast on recent Nvidia GPUs. Unfortunately, no LLM currently matches the performance of the chatgpt models yet.

The best resources I've found are r/localllama on reddit, discord (KoboldAI, TheBloke, and Oobabooga servers) and 4chan /lmg/.
