https://github.com/thepersonalaicompany/amurex/blob/main/ser... - I get it, it's on github, but the storage doesn't make it open source on its own, unfortunately.

It is. You can use your storage or fork and alter it if you don't like the default.

Isn't it like saying "Windows is open source, since if you don't like it, you can just delete it and install FreeBSD"? OpenAI doesn't really have any realistic alternative that's not only in name open.

Ubuntu comes bundled with NVIDIA drivers and snap store. Would you say they are not open source either?

Nvidia drivers have 100% open source alternatives, just like snap store. It takes 5 minutes of work to get rid of these, and lose 0% functionality. Not like removing OpenAI and substituting with... what exactly?

I somewhat agree with the original point, but this here is just nonsense. Open source NVIDIA drivers are nowhere close to a replacement for the proprietary ones.

If anything, you'd probably lose less accuracy in this project by replacing ChatGPT with one of the Llama variants than than you'd lose graphics performance by switching an Ubuntu desktop from noveau to nvidia.

I see. Well, from my point of view saying that this project is fully open source (this is the 2nd time I quote these words from you) is nonsense, while being only a thin wrapper over a proprietary API.
