Cool. Now go back in time a couple years and that might actually mean something. Good that someone is even aware of what's up though.

If absolutely means something.

The goal wouldn’t be to make something better than GPT-5 to outcompete it.

The goal would be to have an AI that could be run locally, fine tuned locally and trusted with the data of UK citizens.

It's also the second time this week a leader of a major western country has talked openly about artificial intelligence. This is about to really blow up.

Edit: Seriously — world leaders are going to be flinging shit like apes for the next six Months.

They're too find behind the curve. The horse has bolten and taken a rocket ship to mars.

Imagine the gov trying to develop electric cars today.

The public sector will be 10x the cost to achieve 10% of the results.

And recently there was a good meme of UK Gov paying cyber security experts £50k so imagine who wants to go work for instead of building a million dollar company with this tech.

They wouldn’t do it in-house. They would fund some kind of coalition.

Also: it’s been proven that you can use one AI to train another so you can bootstrap more cheaply than starting from scratch. Lots of relevant open source out there.

A huge part of the problem is just having enough cash to rent GPUs in any case. Not necessarily deep technical problems.

Also, as I said above, it doesn’t have to be competitive. It doesn’t have to be a product they sell. It could be a tool they themselves use to run the UK government without sending citizen data to a black box in America.

You know the people voted for Brexit, right? Several prime ministers ago.

With enough investment it wouldn't take long to catch up with OpenAI. I think by this time next year there will be multiple models better than GPT-4, maybe even hundreds. Almost anyone can do it. It's possibly the case that GPT 4 isn't even trained optimally. Its very slow so presumably didn't build on the optimal data/parameters balance shown in the chinchilla paper.
