Researchers say their open-source AI model LLaVA, is as powerful as GPT-4 Vision, which was released only weeks ago. (llava-vl.github.io)

Old news pal! πŸ˜„

[4/27] Thanks to the community effort, LLaVA-13B with 4-bit quantization allows you to run on a GPU with as few as 12GB VRAM! Try it out here.

12GB of VRAM is still an upgrade away for most people and a 4bit quantized 13B model is barely going to be a tech demo. When open source ai is proclaimed to be near/on par/better then gpt4 they are talking about nothing else than their biggest models in a prime environment.

Sure, but not for standard cloud instances that are very affordable for companies wanting to get away from OpenAI.

I usually don’t think much about companies and cloud instances when it comes to Fossai but fair enough.

For me its all about locally run consumer models. If we cannot archive that it means we will always need to rely on the wims and decisions of others to acces the most transforming technology ever invented.
