ChatGPT is down. Luckily I have a handful of local hosted tools that makes this not a huge pain in my ass. Imagine if you are running a service on their API?

The number of times this service has been down is really kinda nuts. They have been breaking the mold on tons of implementations and the connecting of agents and LLMs in a highly UX friendly way. I'm amazed they can stay ahead of everything so well... but their reliability has been anything but good, imo.

This is another huge reason why self-hosted options are so important. TF are we supposed to do when our productivity is 3x, but its all dependent on a central server and closed source Ai?

we will probably one day look back at these language models and laugh that we called them artificial intelligence

The verb is a felony

Which self-hosted alternatives do you recommend?

Prem ai (variety of models)

Whisper

GPT4All (Mistrel and Falcon)

XTTS

Automatic1111 (stable diffusion)

ComfyUI (stable diffusion)

These are the ones I’ve been doing most of my stuff with. I’ve got a bunch of others set to explore.

GPUtopia.ai is going to be a game changer in this.

DecentrAI

They’ve had quite a few technical issues lately. 🙃

Maybe it’s missing Sam?

They’ve changed it immensely since last year. It’s still great but not nearly as useful.

Prompts that worked originally now basically comeback with reasons why it can’t or shouldn’t give that information.

Kind of stinks from that perspective.

That's correct. I am quite happy to say I have never used ChatGPT. Been using FreeGPT (self hosted). Self reliance is true freedom

I’ve never used ChatGPT - this is the first time I’ve heard of it going down. Wow what a wake up call for businesses that depend on it!
