I use the Apertus model on the LM Studio software. It’s all open source:

I used it to analyze a datasheet and it spat out a usable library for the device in C++, that was pretty cool.


Not to mention the one that I run locally on my GPU is trained on ethically-sourced data without breaking any copyright or data licensing laws, and yet it somehow works BETTER at ChatGPT for coding.
But again, you’d have to set your project to public and your license to “anyone can take my code and do whatever they want with it” before it’d be even added to that list. That’s opt-in, not opt-out. I don’t see the ethical dilemma here. I’m pretty sure I’ve found ethical AI, that produces good value for me and society, and I’m going to keep telling people about it and how to use it.
StarCoderData.23 A large-scale code dataset derived from the permissively licensed GitHub collection The Stack (v1.2). (Kocetkov et al., 2022), which applies deduplication and filtering of opted-out files. In addition to source code, the dataset includes supplementary resources such as GitHub Issues and Jupyter Notebooks (Li et al., 2023).
That’s not random Github accounts or “delicensing” anything. People had to opt IN to be part of “The Stack”. Apertus isn’t training itself from community code.
It is not trained on open source code on Github.
But I can use it to analyze a datasheet and generate a library for an obscure module that I can then upload to Github and contribute to the community.


Yeah because by “bots” I mean sweatshop workers in Vietnam and Thailand.


That’s because Reddit is 90% bots now.
Can you elaborate on why this is unethical?
I use 0.2kWh of electricity to spend a day coding with this model:
Feels like telling me not to use a calculator so I don’t forget how to add and subtract.
Install LM Studio
Tell LM Studio to download the Apertus model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apertus_(LLM)
Bob’s ur uncle.
stick to 8B models for video cards with 8GB VRAM.
What about the AI that I run on my local GPU that is using a model trained on open source and public works?
No need to leak the data, it’s open source. https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.15533
