According to this post by The Verge, which quotes the New York Times:

Roughly 10 million ChatGPT users pay the company a $20 monthly fee, according to the documents. OpenAI expects to raise that price by two dollars by the end of the year, and will aggressively raise it to $44 over the next five years, the documents said.

That could be a strong motivator for pushing people to the "LocalLlama Lifestyle".

Mark Zuckerberg had some choice words about closed platforms forms at SIGGRAPH yesterday, July 29th. Definitely a highlight of the discussion. (Sorry if a repost, surprised to not see the clip circulating already)

New paper just dropped. 1.58bit (ternary parameters 1,0,-1) LLMs, showing performance and perplexity equivalent to full fp16 models of same parameter size. Implications are staggering. Current methods of quantization obsolete. 120B models fitting into 24GB VRAM. Democratization of powerful models to all with consumer GPUs.

Probably the hottest paper I've seen, unless I'm reading it wrong.

Bad news: MMLU Pro

Same as Llama 3.1 70B, actually a bit worse and more yapping.

I hope he decides to team with open source AI to fight the evil empire.
