title: GPT4All: An Ecosystem of Open Source Compressed Language Models
summary: Large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved human-level performance
  on a range of professional and academic benchmarks. The accessibility of these
  models has lagged behind their performance. State-of-the-art LLMs require
  costly infrastructure; are only accessible via rate-limited, geo-locked, and
  censored web interfaces; and lack publicly available code and technical
  reports. In this paper, we tell the story of GPT4All, a popular open source
  repository that aims to democratize access to LLMs. We outline the technical
  details of the original GPT4All model family, as well as the evolution of the
  GPT4All project from a single model into a fully fledged open source ecosystem.
  It is our hope that this paper acts as both a technical overview of the
  original GPT4All models as well as a case study on the subsequent growth of the
  GPT4All open source ecosystem.
