No dispute on crediting Meta for LLaMa itself. I dispute crediting Meta for the widespread interest in LLMs. IMO, that would be Google (for Transformers, BERT)

No dispute on crediting Meta for LLaMa itself. I dispute crediting Meta for the widespread interest in LLMs. IMO, that would be Google (for Transformers, BERT), OpenAI (for GPT-2, GPT-3). BERT and GPT-2 were released under Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses respectively and precede the release of LLaMa. Of course, we can credit ChatGPT for bringing it to the forefront of public consciousness. And none of this takes away from Meta's work on LLaMa. I had said as much in my original comment.
