What's the point of the form if it's freely accessible? This might be revolutionary in the LLM field, as Stable Diffusion was to DALL-E.

- rnosov 4y agoThe linked page is just a pull request, the actual repository readme doesn't mention torrent option at all.

- ot 4y agoIf they were a Meta employee they wouldn't have had to sign the CLA.
- aaronharnly 4y agoI wouldn’t jump to that conclusion — the first and last names are not uncommon, and the GitHub user has some attributes (eg Haskell; geographic ties) they do not share with the LinkedIn profile you link. Unless you have strong evidence of their identity I’d suggest rethinking this.
- fwlr 4y agoThe Christopher King user who submitted the pull request has a git repo in C++ called “Final - My Homework” made in 2015; the Christopher King you link to completed his BA in Computer Science in 2005. I strongly suspect they’re different people who happen to share the same name.
- fwlr 4y agoThe user who submitted the pull request is not part of Meta or Facebook Research, and the users who signed off on reviewing the changes don’t appear to be either. I highly doubt Meta will approve the pull request. The models are being distributed by torrent by someone with access to the models, not by Meta themselves as far as we know. They likely still intend to distribute via the form. This is just someone publicizing the torrent link by being cheeky on GitHub. (As they didn’t reply to my request for the model - I specified it was for personal use and my use case was “I think it would be fun to run it on my own hardware” - I appreciate this little stunt a great deal!)
