I have been fooling around with the small 7B llama models. They chat, but they are pretty dumb compared to ChatGPT. This means they are terser and they confabulate more, even for things that are common knowledge. It seems, from asking it questions about current events, that the model was trained up to data from early 2020.

I haven't seen much output yet from the biggest 65B parameter llama model. One can rent cloud VMs that can run it for $1.25 an hour or so on vast.ai to run it, but ChatGPT is $20 a month so why bother, unless you like the fully uncensored aspect.
