Lecture Notes: Running Your Own Uncensored AI Chatbot

Introduction

• Presenter: David Andrzej
• Focus: How to host an uncensored AI chatbot online.
• Problem with Censored Models: Chat GPT is heavily censored with bias, safety layers, and moderation controls.
• Advantage of Uncensored Models: No restrictions, allowing diverse and unrestricted interactions.

Why Uncensored Models are Beneficial

• Examples:
  • Creative writing and political discussions
  • Security and ethical hacking
• Analogy: Models with restrictions are like cars with missing wheels.

Building Your Own Uncensored AI Chatbot

• No Programming Skills Required: All necessary code and prompts are provided in the New Society platform.
• Model Used: Dolphin72B (72 billion parameters)
  • Not as large as GPT-40 or Cloud 3.5 Sonnet
  • Fine-tuned on LAMA 3.1
• Hosting Requirements:
  • Cannot run locally due to high hardware costs (~$200,000 for A100 GPUs)
  • Requires cloud solutions like Hugging Face's inference endpoints

Steps to Host the Model

1. Use Hugging Face:
   • Largest repository for open-source models and datasets
2. Deployment Options:
   • Inference Endpoints (Hugging Face)
   • Amazon SageMaker (AWS)
   • Azure ML (Microsoft Azure)
   • Google Cloud
3. Create a Hugging Face Account:
   • Required for accessing services
4. Model Options:
   • Dolphin 72B for more robust applications
   • Smaller 7B model for cost-effective solutions

Cost Management

• L40s GPUs as an Alternative for A100s:
  • More affordable but less powerful
• Scaling Options:
  • Automatic scaling to zero when not in use to save costs
  • Recommend 30 minutes to 1-hour inactivity scaling

Building a Web App

• Platform Used: Bolt.new
• Interface Development:
  • Easy UI development similar to chat GPT
  • Use of Hugging Face API for model integration
• Deploying the App:
  • Use Netlify for deployment

Ethical Considerations

• Uncensored Models for Genuine Use-Cases:
  • Privacy and unbiased information
• Potential for Unethical Use:
  • Acknowledge some users might misuse the freedom

Conclusion

• Future of Uncensored Models: Belief in their growing importance despite performance trade-offs.
• Final Thoughts:
  • Encouragement to explore more uncensored models
  • Invitation to join the New Society and engage further
