Togheter.ai has very competitive pricing per token on llama models albeit the selection of models is a bit limited, they are in a great position for LLAMAs or whatever parallel, albeit the secret sauce missing here is function calling
I'd love to see HuggingFace launch an open source competitor to ChatGPT, offer a paid managed version and let users self host. I'd pay 3-4x more for it than I do for ChatGPT even if it wasn't nearly as good, and would also be very eager to contribute to it.
Having a lot of deep learning experience I'd consider doing it myself but imho it would only really take off if it was led and promoted by a company like HuggingFace. (see Open Assistant)
It also helps that they already have some experience doing this, since they started out as a consumer chat bot company.
