OpenAI API free alternative for development

Hi
I tried different LLMs as I can’t afford the openai api costs after running out of trial credit.
OpenAI api outperforms others like google flan t5 in terms of covering more NLP applications. Anyone interested in evaluating different LLM for specific NLP task to recommend alternatives to open ai api for people like me?
Thanks
Peter

LLaMA is one of the popular alternatives. Check this link for reference: https://github.com/nichtdax/awesome-totally-open-chatgpt

That being said, you can’t expect the same performance as ChatGPT does.
