>>56139030API being an option is being planned out. It's difficult to provide an API service for free, so we'll have to do something like NAI does (cuz if we did provide it for free, yeah that's going to be abused heavily and cost us actual compute). I'm hoping the site frontend will be good enough that people stay on the site but I understand that API are useful to have in general. It's not off the table but it needs to be done carefully. Hopefully, it'll be on the cheapest subscription plan but if someone pays like 10 bucks and shares it around to an entire group of people. Yeah, that's not going to be viable.
>>56139123Project is based in America. The whole Altman thing is pretty weird but honestly a lot of the news related to OAI's collaboration with other companies to make a "regulatory board" seems like trying to recoup their position against open-source development. These thing takes year to actually fully implement into a predatory level. Worst case scenario, we'll have to move to a different nation. If it comes down to that, sure, we'll do it, but I feel like if we did anything pre-emptively then it's sorta like schizo behaviour (ironic coming from /vt/). I rather have the project focus on doing stuff first and establishing things.
As for your question regarding "making sure people give pyg another chance", honestly I have no clue what you're basing this off (maybe this is just /aicg/ sentiments). Yeah, the previous Llama1 models were pretty bad, there are reasons behind it on the whys and it took me a few months to make sure we do things properly again. If I want to "win back anons" then all we need to do is provide quality. Which is my entire MO with things.
So, those logs came from an experimental model using our new dataset. That dataset actually had some script errors so it wasn't fully there yet. One of the devs is redoing the dataset again so hopefully the generations will avoid the common model issues. We'll keep trying and trying until we get it right with community feedback.
For the specialisation question, I think it's possible we have models dedicated to chatting, roleplaying, and storywriting. Currently, the main focus in on roleplaying but once we feel like we done enough of a good job, we can train other models and offer that as an option on the website. It'll be implemented later and not a launch feature, but it is very possible to do.
