It’s open source and people are literally self-hosting it for fun right now. Current consensus appears to be that its not as good as chatGPT for many things. I haven’t personally tried it yet. But either way there’s little to be “suspicious” about since it’s self-hostable and you don’t have to give it internet access at all so it can’t call home.
Is there any way to verify the computing cost to generate the model though? That’s the most shocking claim they’ve made, and I’m not sure how you could verify that.
