Everything which is not BigTech. Preferably FOSS, at least not BigTech, just alternatives to for example OpenAI.
So you’re including free models like freeware, not FOSS only, by non big tech.
Your choice of models will be quite limited as the compute resource and training corpus needed to make a viable base model isn’t anyone can do.
Agreed, but there have been big projects that have been open source. I can imagine* an AI (LLM) being developed fully FOSS. It would be rare, but I can see it happening if a big foundation got behind it. Maybe Mozilla, or another that tries to keep the spirit of their mission statement.
*Imagine: I’m not too familar with all of the current, public, and free models out there, just a few. This was just me making a hopeful guess about if it might be actually happening now.
