If the cost of efficiently running a trained LLM locally comes down to ~ 100k, it would probably be a worthwhile investement for me. Definitely something to look out for and potentially contribute. Exciting times :)

Hey, I would gladly join your effort, I got a similar background and certain concerns regarding the direction of OpenAI in their approach to censorship. Currently still mostly inexperienced with machine learning, with a mediocare understanding of the linear algebra algo's behind it. I intend to use (and currently partially use) ML for image gen, improving formal software verification by possibly generating SMT conditions and such + aiding procedural generation algo's...

I would not be too concerned with ChatGPT costing a bit of money but rather the API or functionality being neutered because "too powerful". As such, I rather have control over the the whole AI stack.

Long term, I would also like to investigate the possibility for massive GPU based distributed training, similar to Folding@home just for generating models.

I specifically had those in mind. It is my understanding that the robot traversing those obstacles are commonly highly choreographed via their Choreographer API. It is by no means some real time terrain analysis.

• Any labour that can't be efficiently automated. Making robots traverse earth is still astoninglishly difficult (Even the foremost "naturally moving" robots are usually highly scripted)
