    If you want something local and open source, I think your main problem will be the number of parameters (the b thing). ChatGPT-3 is (was?) noticeably big and open source models are usually smaller. There is, of course, an exchange about how much the size of the model matters and how the quality of the training data affects the results. But when I did a non-scientific comparison ~half a year ago, there was a noticeable difference between smaller models and bigger ones.

    Having said all of that, check out https://huggingface.co/ it aims to be like GitHub for AIs. Most of the models are more or less open source, you will only need to figure out how to run one and if you have some bottlenecks on PI
