However, it transpires Falcon 180B uses a proprietary license “based upon” the Apache license. Despite Falcon's claims to the contrary, it is not open source.
And that's disappointing because Falcon 40B is actually open source (and Apache licensed).

- dartos 3y agoYep. No truly open source big models around rn, but people keep calling them open source. Some amazing marketing by meta.
- netdur 3y agoI am not sure how can a binary have open source license at first place

- jazzyjackson 3y agonot so much about reading/modifying the source, more about what you can build on top, but point taken, could use a different word, "public domain" would be nice if anyone actually wanted to give something back to the public after digesting all the information ever produced
- orra 3y agoSource code is, for the GPL, the “preferred form for modification”. Given the outrageous cost of training from scratch, plus the ability to fine tune models... I don't think it's completely ridiculous. Edit: plus, the industry acts like models aren't derivative works of the training data. If true the source license is less important than the model!
- hnfong 3y agoAt least Meta's license mainly restricts usage from other large companies. The Falcon 180B license is special, even in the context of "open" LLM models: https://huggingface.co/spaces/tiiuae/falcon-180b-license/blob/main/LICENSE.txt https://huggingface.co/spaces/tiiuae/falcon-180b-license/blo... > 5.3. The Acceptable Use Policy may be updated from time to time. You should monitor the web address at which the Acceptable Use Policy is hosted to ensure that your use of the Work or any Derivative Work complies with the updated Acceptable Use Policy. This is basically "don't use it" for any business that retains a lawyer.

- dartos 3y agoMeta’s llm license prevents you from using llama data to train or fine tune a non llama model. Feels very EEE to me.

- stale2002 3y ago> because Falcon 180GB is open source, so you can run it for any purpose, without worrying about license restrictions. This isn't as big of a deal as people try to claim it is. LLama 2 can be used for almost anything unless you are like Google or Apple. But if you don't work there, then you are basically safe to do almost anything with it.
- jvalencia 3y agoYou can't use it for generating training data.
