Ask HN: Open source LLM for commercial use?
Others have answered your question, but I'll add that the market for high quality AI models is not similar to the software marketplace, where there is always an open source alternative (and where open source is often the state of the art).LLMs take so much engineering effort, research, and compute that it's unlikely there will be good open source alternatives in the near future. Right now your only real option is OpenAI (or maybe Anthropic) and that seems unlikely to change anytime soon.The only reason we have LLAMA is because Meta threw us a bone. They might not do that again.
