Not specific to this model, but beyond the large players (OpenAI, Cohere, etc) are there any free hosted versions of the open(ish) LLMs? Even the smaller 7B parameter ones? I'm prototyping out a project and using OpenAI for now, but it

I recently prototyped out a "chat over PDF documents" project.[1] I opted to use LanceDB for vector (embeddings) storage and retrieval and found it really nice to use. I'm working on using it in a large project now. [1] - ht

Does this change when the two options are perfect substitutes? As a rider, there's no "cost" to having both apps, so I'll just check both. Similarly, as a driver, I'll just sit with both apps open and see which one

This is a welcome addition. I've run into bugs in projects before and wanted to "+1" a thread, but it always felt like spamming the maintainers. It'd be cool if they added a way to search through your list of reactions.
