Why do people host LLMs at home when processing the same amount of data from the internet to train their LLM will never be even a little bit as efficient as sending a paid prompt to some high quality official model?

inb4 privacy concerns or a proof of concept

this is out of discussion, I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one. I don’t care about anything else than quality of generated answers

    I’m not saying in advance that it’s pointless, it’s just your far-fetched preconception. I want to know if there are any further arguments for hosting LLMs besides the two I ruled out in advance for being too obvious. Furthermore, I think that since you moved so quickly to mockery, there are no other reasons than privacy and tinkering

      Why would you need a reason other than privacy? Or for that matter any reason you want or nobe at all.

        To be fair, he is just asking for more reasons than privacy. No reason not to give him them, and also okay to say we don’t think there is any.

          His assumption seems to be that there must be other reasons or that that reason is somehow not valid enough though.

          No, they said they “ruled out” privacy for “obvious reasons”.

          Obviously mockable statement.

      The self hosted community is probably the worst place you could ask about something while ruling out “privacy and tinkering”. Those words might as well be the motto here.
