## Quote — verbatim

> We're seeing open-source clones, or open-source GPT models, that are actually getting to be really, really good — as good as GPT-4 in some cases. And the time it's taking from an OpenAI release to a clone is shortening really quickly.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

He cites LLaMA, Alpaca, and Databricks' Dolly as GPT-3.5-level, and a model "70 to 80% as good as GPT-4" with "the gap reducing very quickly" (00:22:58) — the opportunity underpinning open-source/decentralized AI.
