Okay, so like...the part of this that's actually interesting is the part that doesn't run on my laptop, and instead requires handing my source code to an untrustworthy third party?

In our benchmarks, open source models still have a long way to go (just breaking past the GPT 3.5 barrier now). We're excited to move to open source models when they're ready, but right now they simply aren't there yet.

Even when they are, it'll still be a while before you can run such a powerful model on your laptop. Thanks for the feedback!

I have to agree, I'm tired of getting baited into looking at these projects.
