    I don’t understand why everyone’s freaking out about this.

    Saying you can train an AI for “only” 8 million. It is a bit like saying that it’s cheaper to have a bunch of university professors do something than to teach a student how to do it. Yeah and that is true, as long as you forget about the expense of training the professors in the first place.

    It’s a distilled model, so where are you getting the original data from if not for the other LLMs?

      If you can make a fast, low power, cheap hardware AI, you can make terrifying tiny drone weapons that autonomously and networklessly seek out specific people by facial recognition or generally target groups of people based on appearance or presence of a token, like a flag on a shoulder patch, and kill them.

      Unshackling AI from the data centre is incredibly powerful and dangerous.
