Basically after years of raising money as a non-profit & training on everyone's data, "Open"AI rug-pulled the world and decided to keep their secret models secret to become a for-profit venture.
I was pissed. Then Meta came out of nowhere to release Llama, a model with performance comparable to ChatGPT. I was able to download it & run it for free on my computer. Thank you Zucc, very cool.
