Summary

GPT-3 has been discontinued, ending its run as a pioneering language model. The author reflects on its impact and criticizes the suggested replacements as not being drop-in alternatives.

It had such a long run. It was my first introduction to modern language models. I remember getting slightly excited over it. And now it lives purely in our memories. Arguably what's more infuriating is that they suggest using GPT-5.6 Terra as a replacement. Keep in mind that Babbage is a model that's literally 3/4 of the size than MiniCPM5 2B. Even Luna might be overkill as a replacement. But neither is a drop-in replacement. Davinci is the main GPT-3 most people use. This is why we have local models, because they simply cannot have a universal end of life date.
