Launching Your Uncensored AI Chatbot

Dec 31, 2024

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
