The best options are probably GPT-J and BLOOM but they are both so big they need at least a 24GB of VRAM and they are not as suffisticated.

you can fine-tune in 8bits weights for use in collab or similarly more restrained environments https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/14839 https://huggingface.co/hivemind/gpt-j-6B-8bit

by fine-tuning you should be able to attain niche-specific better results than default chatGPT theoretically, if you're lucky and thorough I guess

How do you fine-tune to a specific use-case, though? You train it again, with smaller weights?

> not as suffisticated

ChatGPT in a nutshell.

(I hadn't heard the slang before, but it seems descriptive for a false air of sophistication, or [possibly over-]sophisticated complexity that nevertheless leads to bad results.)
