How to run your own Chat GPT like AI system on your computer?

God knows we have all heard enough about ChatGPT-4 this week. But you know there is a glaring problem with it: some of us want to use it at work but hesitate to send Open AI all our confidential data.

What if you could run a similar AI model on your own personal computer?

Meet Stanford's open-source Alpaca model – the coolest AI neighbor you never knew you needed.

It's super easy to get started with the Alpaca model:

• Install node.js
• Then open your mac Terminal and type the following two commands:

npx dalai alpaca install 7B
npx dalai serve

• Now open your browser and go to this URL: localhost:3000

• That's it. You now have access to your very own AI-powered web UI.

🙋‍♀️ What if I run into problems during installation?

If you are having trouble with any of the steps, visit the GitHub repository here: https://github.com/cocktailpeanut/dalai

🙋‍♂️ Will my machine be able to run it?

It works on most modern machines. You just need 4.21 GB of disk space.

🙋🏻 How does it compare to Chat GPT?

The Alpaca model is a fine-tuned version of LLaMA, capable of following instructions (similar to ChatGPT). The impressive fine-tuning process cost less than $600 compared to the $5 million it cost to train GPT-3 in 2020. Admittedly it is not as good as GPT 4 or even 3.5, but it is a safe, open-source and offline alternative that's as good as GPT 3.

Have fun! 🎉
