I really can't wait for alpaca to release, you can finally integrate it in games without the use of a server

Still a bit too heavy to run alongside new games on the same machine. But it could be run server-side for cheap as part of the service. We're looking at the end of NPCs repeating the same few lines ad nauseam without voiceover.

I think you can even use a GPT2 model tuned with data from GPT4 to play a bunch of characters in a game. If you don't need universal knowledge, a small LM can do the trick. They can even calibrate the language model so the game comes out balanced and diverse.

The problem with this is that you still have to gather a lot of data and do a lot of tuning, which takes time and resources, alpaca could be just a "plug and play" with the right prompts

Hello there! I am a bot raising awareness of Alpacas

Here is an Alpaca Fact:

Alpacas have split feet with pads on the bottom like dogs and toenails in front. The toenails must be trimmed if the ground isn’t hard enough where they are living to wear them down.

You don't get a fact, you earn it. If you got this fact then AlpacaBot thinks you deserved it!

It depends on the game, it could be probably be used to generate new items and stuff in a bare bone roguelike or other stuff that doesn't require much to run, it's obviously too soon for a full 3d game with generated text at the same time, but we'll get there. Also a private server is an idea

What about older games like Mount & Blade warband that can run on a toaster?

I don't know if you're familiar with the Youtuber Bloc and that's what you're referring to but they are making exactly that.

It apparently was just released, you can download it and try it yourself. I haven't tried it myself and it isn't perfect from the looks of it but incredibly fascinating what will be done in the future.

Wow they did it with bannerlord that's impressive

>alpaca

a mod to implement alpaca on mount and blade warband would make it an even more endless experience as the game only eventually gets dry for me when I feel the NPCs having no dialogues and no way to interact with them beyond the standard choices

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we're past this hurdle in a matter of weeks:

RWKV showed how you can get an order of magnitude increase in inference speed of LLMs without losing too much performance. How long until someone instruction-tunes their baselines like alpaca did to llama?

the pace of development on these things is frightening.
