Pretty cool!

Honestly even if it were to take a few minutes per response, that's likely sufficient for many use cases. I'd get value out of that if it allowed bypassing a paywall. I'm curious how these models end up being monetized/supported financially, as they sound expensive to run at scale.

The required disk space seems the biggest barrier for local.

If it's a few minutes per token you might be waiting a lot longer for a full response: https://blog.quickchat.ai/post/tokens-entropy-question/

I also wonder how open.ai etc provides access to these for free. Reminds me of the adage from when Facebook rose to popularity: "if something is free, 'you' are the product". Perhaps to gather lots more conversational training data for fine tuning.

It would be remarkable and surprising if they weren’t doing that.
It's in their FAQ:

>> Who can view my conversations?

> As part of our commitment to safe and responsible AI, we review conversations to improve our systems and to ensure the content complies with our policies and safety requirements.

>> Will you use my conversations for training?

> Yes. Your conversations may be reviewed by our AI trainers to improve our systems.
