Why do people host LLMs at home when processing the same amount of data from the internet to train their LLM will never be even a little bit as efficient as sending a paid prompt to some high quality official model?
inb4 privacy concerns or a proof of concept
this is out of discussion, I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one. I don’t care about anything else than quality of generated answers
“Why do people do X, when in my opinion if you disregard the two top reasons for doing X, it’s pointless? Prove to me that it would be better!?”
I’m not saying in advance that it’s pointless, it’s just your far-fetched preconception. I want to know if there are any further arguments for hosting LLMs besides the two I ruled out in advance for being too obvious. Furthermore, I think that since you moved so quickly to mockery, there are no other reasons than privacy and tinkering
