gollark: You can have that. There is an annoyingly long wait for requests for access to be approved but I know some people with API access.
gollark: Good luck running a 175-billion-parameter model anyway.
gollark: The biggest GPT-3 model has 175 billion parameters. The GPT-J one is 6 billion. So still a big difference but not quite that much.
gollark: GPT-Neo/GPT-J.
gollark: There are open replications of smaller GPT-3s available.
