GPT4All is a free-to-use, locally running, privacy-aware large language model that is a 3GB - 8GB file that you can download and query. No GPU or internet required

GitHub - nomic-ai/gpt4all: gpt4all: an ecosystem of open-source chatbots trained on a massive collections of clean assistant data including code, stories and dialogue

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've got this running. And it's fun!
But it's also bad compared to chatgpt, or even bing.
- Is there a free and better chatgpt alternative out there right now? I've gone through multiple and none are as good as chatgpt right now.
  
  I believe Claude 2 is the best LLM option currently, if you live in the US or UK or have a VPN.
  
  Not that I know of.
- Yeah, if you use OpenAi's api key, it's cheaper and a bit more private than their website. I think it's like $0.1/day for ~100 queries
  
  I plugged GPT-4 into my discord bot.
  It's $.03 for 1000 tokens. That translates to about 3 or 4 messages.
  gpt-3.5-turbo is almost as good and way cheaper at .0015 per 1k tokens.
I'm still waiting for a local autonomous AI agent with search. I don't understand why most autonomous agent projects use GPT-4 without incorporating search capabilities. Allowing the model to continuously hallucinate is not productive. Instead, it should be able to discover factual information and perform genuinely useful tasks.
Im looking forward to foss ai solutions have their breakthrough, but for now, they cant compete with proprietary Software. Except maybe stable Diffusion
Worth noting that if you want a local LLM on android MLCChat can run Vicuna-7B, RedPajama and several other models from huggingface on fairly average hardware. The interface is still basic but it's functional.
how do these compare to gpt3 and 4?
- It's not very good. But that's the tradeoff for having full control of a local LLM right now.
- In my experience gpt4all is both slower and less accurate but YMMV
i'll probably stick to ~~automatic1111~~ oobabooga (mixed up my tools) for now, seeing as they both seem to run the same models. certainly neat to see a more general userfriendly app tho
Been playing around for a couple of weeks with it, and its local server option made it really easy to use with langchain + Orca mini is amazingly fast (but need proper prompts it seems - I still need to work this out it seems :D ) oh and it even lets you see the server side chat, reaaaaally useful when you chain prompts with langchain
- how does it compare to commercially available options? namely code generation, text summarization, and asking questions related to programming? I'm curious if they trained it on code.
  
  I'm really not able to answer this precisely, since i only used commercial alternatives to play around with it... what i can say is "Nous - Vicuna" model didnt feel worse than GPT 3.5 overall (and there's a dozen other models available), just a bit slower (which depends on your computer). And the GPT4ALL team curates their list of models, and it's really comfortable considering the million models happening everyday. Also the app that keeps getting new features. We also chose this system because self hosting is safer, in control, and free. Plus we try to only use the LLM where needed in our small project, so i'll be able to give more insight about that later I think, but overall it is more than usable.
