I’m looking for an open-source alternative to ChatGPT which is community-driven. I have seen some open-source large language models, but they’re usually still made by some organizations and published after the fact. Instead, I’m looking for one where anyone can participate: discuss ideas on how to improve the model, write code, or donate computational resources to build it. Is there such a project?
HuggingFace looks to me like it’s a corporation. Like, when I click on “about > join us”, I’m sent to their job offer page.
@lily33 like Github, HuggingFace is a private company that can host public models. I’m pretty sure this one is fully public. But you’re right that it does look like someone from HF started it so perhaps it does not meet your criteria after all. My apologies if so.
I was (am?) of the understanding though that Bloom is being researched openly such that it can be reproduced locally (and contributed to on HF)
