Reply to comment by IWantAGrapeInMyMouth in [D] When chatGPT stops being free: Run SOTA LLM in cloud by _underlines_

Open Source is only free when it's running off your own computer. Otherwise, if it's running off some infrastructure, then that has to be paid for - typically with ads or something like that.

Usually inference on hugging face for large models is free for individuals making a reasonable amount of API calls as part of their offerings, and I assume an open source version of this would be on there. I realize that it costs money.
