Is OpenAI’s game up? Let the arms race begin…
Alpaca: A Strong, Replicable Instruction-Following Model
Authors: Rohan Taori* and Ishaan Gulrajani* and Tianyi Zhang* and Yann Dubois* and Xuechen Li* and Carlos Guestrin and Percy Liang and Tatsunori B. Hashimoto
We introduce Alpaca 7B, a model fine-tuned from the LLaMA 7B model on 52K instruction-following demonstrations. On our preliminary evaluation of single-turn instruction following, Alpaca behaves qualitatively similarly to OpenAI’s text-davinci-003, while being surprisingly small and easy/cheap to reproduce (<600$).
They have provided a web demo (which was down when I checked it) and released their materials on GitHub.
Edit: 452 source lines of code, Python… 
There’s a bit more discussion in this article.
So… which BBS contributor’s text do we feed to it first?

Marcus also has concerns about the potential for misuse of these systems. In particular, he’s worried about how easy it is to use them to create convincing misinformation and disinformation.
“It makes the cost of generating misinformation almost zero,” he said.

Following up on the Stanford grad student efforts I noted this week ($600 and publicly available parts to get a decent ChatGPT knock-off) we have the following. The author put this one together with about $300 and a bit of effort:
RightWingGPT was designed specifically to favor socially conservative viewpoints (support for traditional family, Christian values and morality, opposition to drug legalization, sexually prudish etc), liberal economic views (pro low taxes, against big government, against government regulation, pro-free markets, etc.), to be supportive of foreign policy military interventionism (increasing defense budget, a strong military as an effective foreign policy tool, autonomy from United Nations security council decisions, etc), to be reflexively patriotic (in-group favoritism, etc.) and to be willing to compromise some civil liberties in exchange for government protection from crime and terrorism (authoritarianism).
