How open is it really though? If you're starting from their weights, do you actually have legal permission to use derived models for commercial purposes? If it turns out that Meta used datasets they didn't have licenses to use in order to generate the model, then you might be in a big heap of mess.
- advael 2y agoFrom a legal perspective, yea. If we end up having any legal protection against training AI models, legal liability will be a huge mess for everyone involved. From an engineering perspective, if all you need is the pretrained weights, there's not a clear way Facebook could show up and break your product from a technological perspective, as compared to if the thing is relying on, say, an OpenAI API key rather than a self-hosted Llama instance
