ChatGPT serves 3.5 for free. You can run llama locally for free. Lmsys is free.

You think that will stay this way?

It will either become paywalled or full of ads.

I listed 3 things that are free.

Personally, I don't think ChatGPT will start running ads in the next ten years. However, let's assume that it does.

Lmsys is for research, I suspect if it runs ads it will be like godbolt (a small ad from a relevant sponsor).

Llama 2 and 3 can always be run locally without ads. I make no claims about future versions.
