I'm as much a META hater as anyone - their policies have consistently disappointed me in almost every aspect of their business - but their stance on this LLaMA project I must say I am happy with and seems to mark a turn for the better.
If they follow through on their promise of making the weights available and share source code that is a big step in the right direction for democratising this technology
- A4ET8a8uTh0 4y agoYeah, but their history ( and accumulated goodwill ) are similar to Microsoft's. They may say it is 'open' or sprinkle appropriately sounding corporate speaking all over the press release, but the actions will, at best, temporarily prevent them from going 'full evil ahead'. And I like that announcement. I just don't think they will actually follow through on this.
- cuuupid 4y agoThe weights are non commercial and while their code is GPLv3 they’ve only released inference and have removed anything that would give away the training methods :)
- alfalfasprout 4y agoThe paper highlights the training methods pretty clearly though including what tweaks they made.
- jerpint 4y agoBig if. It’s been a few days they’ve released the model, and no one I know (academics) has gotten access to it yet
