Significantly better

I guess it would be interesting to see if the performance difference gets wider or narrower after self-instruct optimizations like alpaca

Me too, I've used it to aid me reading books, study for tests, complete some small side projects, etc. Wish there was a list or subreddit somewhere for people to share what ways they've gotten value out of it so far

Can't wait till we get there with a better alpaca model + local transcription and audio generation + chatgpt style plugins for operating apps. All possible today we just have to wait for it to be developed

It looks like from the title bar he's using whisper api for transcribing his audio to a text query. That has to send a API request with the audio out and wait for the text to come back over the internet. I'm sure a local audio text transcriber would be considerably faster

Edit nvm whisper can be run locally so he's probably doing that

They aren't open source but didn't Stanford release their code and self instruct training data that's supposedly only $600 to train? I honestly don't know but how enforceable is llamas "no using it for business" clause after someone augments one of their models with Lora and trains weights on self instruct?

I'm optimistic, between the hardware and algorithmic advances being made

That's awesome I've been thinking of trying something similar with a raspberry pi with various inputs and outputs but am having trouble thinking of practical functions it could provide. Question, how did you hook the model to the smart home devices, did program your own apis that chatgpt could use?

I'm not disagreeing with you but out of curiosity can you elaborate on any factors I may have overlooked?

I can see a future where apple and android start including apis and tools/interface for LLM models to navigate and use features of the phone, smart home appliance makers can do the same, along with certain web apps and platforms (as long as your user is authenticated). If that kind of thing takes off so businesses can say they are "GPT friendly" (same way they say "works with Alexa") or something we could see actual Jarvis level tech soon.

Imagine being able to talk to google assistant and it's actually intelligent and can operate your phone, computer, home, execute code, analyze data, and pull info from the web and your google account.

Obviously there are a lot of safety and alignment concerns that need to be thought out better first but I can't see us not doing something like that in the coming years, it would suck tho if companies got anti-competitive with it (like if google phone and home ml interfaces are kept only available to google assistant model)

I don't think they can use llama cause of the limited open source rule fb put in llama. Wouldn't be as entirely open as pythia

Depends on your definition of intelligence, the human brain is nothing but a bunch of neurons passing electrical signals to each other, I don't see why it's impossible for computers to simulate something similar to achieve the same results as a brain does.
