From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As long as this allows running local, free software models I don't see the drawback of including this.

My main issue with ChatGPT and similar products is that they use my data to train their models. Running a model locally (like Llama) solves this problem, but running LLMs require extremely powerful GPUs, specially the bigger ones like Llama 70b.

So dedicated hardware for this is a nice thing for those that want it.
