Interesting enough, that's not unaffordable for a great many businesses.

Nobody will give you the weights so you can run locally a SOTA model. These academic/test models, sure. But the advanced ones that are built for profit/high end will not be given out that way.

You'll have to pay for usage. I mean if $1 gets you what would take an hour of work for someone with a college degree, it's easily worth paying it.

Not sure what the pay rates will turn out to be but using the current chatGPT it can slam out what would have taken me several hours in 30 seconds.

You could download any of the larger GPT-J models. Or even GPT-NEO. Part of the point of Huggingface is to give their models away freely. There are other entities out there that do so too. Kind of like the old Stone Soup concept.
