>>56137937Yeah right, if people are still mentioning colab stuff then you guys haven't really been in the know how at all.
So, just to restate things, going corp is a necessity because we're currently building a website (among other benefits that individuals can't get). Consider the website as a fusion of the websites that exist at the moment. It's taken a while because we're not trying to rush things and make a shoddy site. To explain things better, let me tell you the steps we have taken so far and what are our next steps are.
Steps Completed
- Reorganise the project team again and get things started. One of the core members of the Pyg project is still MIA and I took over a lot of things to fill that gap.
- Acquire some form of funds that has barely any strings attached. Avoiding the typical startup approach of seeking VC funds. Not in it for the money and I rather not deal with investors.
- Acquire computes (basically GPUs) for model training
- Redo our dataset so our models are better
- Get some web developers involved so we can build a proper chatting website (consider it a combination of CAI + SillyTavern + other things)
Steps needed to be done
- Complete the first section of the website and beta test that
- Chatting interface is the next step so we will need to complete coding for that and work out partnership agreements with GPU providers
- Enter closed beta testing for everything related to chatting so we can acquire user metrics data so we can operate as cheaply as possible while maintaining quality (this is our way of making our models accessible to you guys, there is a free plan but we'll make it cheap as possible as well)
That's for the current short-term plans at the moment
