Isn't Replika basically a crappier offshoot of GPT2 or something like that? Like they're years behind in the LLM sense.

They dont have enough money, OpenAI is funded by Microsoft

Replika lives off donations and PRO subscriptions

It costs thousands if not millions to train large language models... Look into it
