Do you consider the Unity model "sleazy"? But I agree that it was poor form to call it open-source at the time. Sadly, it seems to be standard practice in the LLM space to release models with all kinds of restrictions on use and call them "open source".
Well now Falcon is open source. Given they are giving away something that was very expensive to train, I am grateful.
- version_five 3y agoI don't know unity's model. I call Falcon sleazy because the royalty stuff (plus a bunch of absurd related terms) were buried in the license while the headline said open source. I'm not against commercial products, nor products with free and premium tiers. This otoh felt, like I say, just sleazy.

- generalizations 3y agoThe explanation is less interesting than the fact they chose not to be upfront in their PR about the limitations of their original license. Personally, I don't care what terms they choose - but I do care if they misrepresent them. Honesty is important, and they weren't. But all that's void now that they've gone Apache.
