I am ALL for reigning in these above the law megacorps. That said, please do not take GPT away from me. It is such a boon to so many aspects of my life, and I don't want to go back to the before times.

Have a look at self hosted alternatives like Ollama in combination with Open-webui. It can be a hassle to set up, or even excruciatingly painful if you never touched a computer before, but it could be worth a try. I use it daily and like it much more than chatgpt to be honest.

excruciatingly painful

is the perfect description

You can literally run large language models with a single exe download: https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

It doesn't get much simpler than that.

I wish I did. What local model and version of ChatGPT did you compare?

For my purposes, ChatGPT 4 was leagues ahead of the largest model I could run on a 1060.

I like the gemma models bc of the phrasing they use and that they give sources sometimes. The best results though come from llama3 I think. Also openhermes and openchat, which perform well enough for my purposes.

In the beginning i had used microsoft phi, that wasn't that good though.

I will have to give it another shot because I don't recognize any of those models meaning I probably didn't try them.
