It was only a matter of time before text-generating AI became as open and free as graphics AI. The first such is here now and ‘live’, OpenChatKit…<\/p>\n

“a ChatGPT-like dialogue language model that is fully open-sourced, with full access to code, model weights, and training data. The released OpenChatKit model can perform natural-language reasoning tasks, answer questions about documents with retrieval, and browse the Web much like BingChat. The model has 20 billion parameters and is trained on 43 million instructions. […] The release also comes with fine-tuning guides that allow users to easily fine-tune the model for their own applications. […] Apache-2.0 license.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

20 billion is not enough for complex tasks (it can’t write long working Python scripts, or pop out complete essays\/stories), but it’s good enough to be useful so long as you know how to ask the question. For instance…<\/p>\n

… gets a line of valid working code. Though you still need to know to wrap it in @echo off<\/em> and exit<\/em>, and then save as a .BAT file.<\/p>\n

But this is just the starting release. The initial live\/free public demo is here<\/a>, if you want to see what arcane Lovecraftian blurblings it might produce if given the correct prompt. It’s fast and easy to use. Though obviously knows nothing about R’lyeh as a holiday destination. Pity.<\/p>\n

I’m uncertain if it can be operated purely locally on a desktop PC, being open source. (Update: Yes it can, it now has a downloadable “7B” model). If not then such things can only a matter of time and the right slot-in card.<\/p>\n

So far, this is the only genuinely free \/ public and ‘no sign-up’ text-generating AI I know of.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Grammarly will reportedly be plugging in AI auto-writing assistants sometime in April 2023. For a price, of course. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
