Researchers say their open-source AI model LLaVA, is as powerful as GPT-4 Vision, which was released only weeks ago.

One of the prevalent doomerist ideas about AI is that big tech will control it all in the future. Yet reality is behaving totally differently. Open-source AI seems only a few months behind big tech.
- Which is why big tech is currently trying to convince world leadership that only they can be trusted to properly align powerful AI models. It's almost time to do the ol' ladder pull.
  
  Corporations would love open source Ai models since it saves them the money that they'd have to pay to someone like openai.
Can this be easily self hosted?

- The problem is most of these models need like a terabyte of VRAM... And consumers have about 8-24GB.
  
  Old news pal! 😄
  [4/27] Thanks to the community effort, LLaVA-13B with 4-bit quantization allows you to run on a GPU with as few as 12GB VRAM! Try it out here.
  
  Holy shit a terabyte?
It's a solid model but comparing to gpt4 immediately removes any credibility that they had.
