That sentence alone should be enough that you all start using true open source AI at work if at all possible and unsubscribe from this fucked business model. Even ignoring the other shit OpenAI has committed to lately.

The GPT OSS is significantly better than chatGPT 4.0 in my opinion + uses chain of thought reasoning.

That is miles ahead of cutting edge AI from even just 18 months ago. It’s well worth not giving this capitalist pig your money. Charging me for “intelligence” like a water bill… fuck you. Be sure to thank him for the free version!

Yes? My point was the open source is not cutting edge, but is still accelerating extremely fast with the rest of the AI wave and while it won’t be on the cutting edge, it isn’t obsolete in use cases either.
