You can host their models yourself on your own device and have the power of this AI technology without any filters, oversight and use it as you wish. They have been producing better and better quality models with GPT-Neo and GPT-J getting the most fans. Whilst these models are open source, they are billions of parameters of data so you need to have a pretty hefty device to be able to run them efficiently and multiple requests at once can really cause problems. Unless you are willing to spend a ton of money in supporting this infrastructure, the open source dream is sadly out of reach for many. What we like about EleutherAI is that they have a thriving Discord community and really clever people working on solving some of the biggest AI problems with no ulterior motive than to forward the movement and make the tech more accessible and less dominated by a few players. That is to be commended! The models themselves are trained on quality data and perform incredibly well across most tests so for any serios AI afficionado, they should be part of your stack! --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.riku.ai/technology-overview/eleutherai.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
