Is there a middle ground between pay and get support or open source, don’t complain?

I have a beef with open source artificial intelligence the way it currently is presented.

It starts with promises. A new model like llama, much better than the predecessor due to more parameters.

Then everyone fine tunes models and uploads them.

Whenever you run into issues compiling, using and managing expectations, nobody is there to talk to, because “open source”.

Often, provided there’s documentation, it’s written for computers, not people.

Transformers being black boxes, you always have the choice to take it or leave it. There is no debugging, really.

Most, me included, do not know how the math behind it works, so we are at the mercy of tutorials, which detail an ultra-niche case, 1% of users can apply.
