- rasz 5y agoIm sure they signed on adopting "something", otherwise it would be receiving $1.5 million grant for closing open source initiative. $3 million a year lawyer wouldn never be this blatant.
- option 5y agohttps://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo which is open source, Pytorch based and regularly publishes new models and checkpoints.
- Seirdy 5y agoThe source code is under a FLOSS license, but it only works on Nvidia GPUs and uses proprietary Nvidia-specific technologies like CUDA. It's significantly closer to "nonfree" on the free-nonfree spectrum than it should be, and is another example of the difference between the guiding philosophies behind "free software" and "open source"
- yorwba 5y agoCan't you run it on CPU? And looking at the code, it seems like they're using Numba to JIT their CUDA kernels, so I guess someone could come along and provide a compatibility shim to make the kernels run on a non-CUDA accelerator?
