Llama Is Expensive

> As a massive disclaimer, a reason to use LLama over gpt-3.5 is finetuning. In this post, we only explore cost and latency. I don't compare LLama-2 to GPT-4, as it is closer to a 3.5-level model. Given the discourse on twitter, it seems Llama-2 still trails behind gpt-3.5-turbo. Benchmark performance also supports this claim:

Well one other massive disclaimer is that the author is "Backed by OpenAI"'s Startup Fund which they failed to disclose in the post.

So of course they would speculate that. This post is essentially a paid marketing piece by OpenAI, who is the lead investor in Anysphere (creators of Cursor)

a founder from anysphere here. while we are funded by openai startup fund, we have no other formal relations by them. we love oss models and are exploring how we can use them for amazing code products. the post is our honest reflection into the tradeoffs we see :)

I hear you, but disclosing the relationship up front is the best way to disarm suspicions of bias.
