3.3 The Current State of GPT4All
Today, GPT4All is focused on improving the accessibility of open source language models. The repository provides compressed versions of open source models for use on commodity hardware, stable and simple high level model APIs, and a GUI for no code model experimentation. The project continues to increase in popularity, and as of August 1 2023, has garnered over 50000 GitHub stars and over 5000 forks.
GPT4All currently provides native support and benchmark data for over 35 models (see Figure 1), and includes several models co-developed with industry partners such as Replit and Hugging Face. GPT4All also provides high level model APIs in languages including Python, Typescript, Go, C#, and Java, among others. Furthermore, the GPT4All no code GUI currently supports the workflows of over 50000 monthly active users, with over 25% of users coming back to the tool every day of the week. (Note that all GPT4All user data is collected on an opt in basis.) GPT4All has become the top language model integration in the popular open source AI orchestration library LangChain (Chase, 2022), and powers many popular open source projects such as PrivateGPT (imartinez, 2023), Quiver (StanGirard, 2023), and MindsDB (MindsDB, 2023), among others. GPT4All is the 3rd fastest growing GitHub repository of all time (Leo, 2023), and is the 185th most popular repository on the platform, by star count.
