Except for the part Llama 2 weights are still being gated by Meta. There are certainly ways around this, but officially this hasn't even changed, even for Llama 1.

Falcon looks very promising, but we seem to be at the early stages of its release, and I haven't seen much validating the claims made about it. I'd love to host an in-home alternative to Alexa, but I don't think I have the time to train a replacement on my own. Here's hoping this changes
