There's a voluminous amount of code and documentation on how to build and run LLMs. You can build your own chatgpt literally in a weekend and run it on a home server, based on publicly available models.

Well then the Chinese labs need to evaporate too
Do you think that's going to erase every copy of "Attention is all you need"?
