I thought they give it away for free?
- yoyohello13 2y agolol, have they been living under a rock? Thats exactly the kind of thing I’d expect a major company to do.

- jsheard 2y agoNot quite, Llamas license has a carve-out where if you have a lot of users then the open license doesn't apply to you, and you have to talk to Meta to negotiate a different (presumably paid) license. Hyperscaler deployments like AWS Bedrock probably fall into that category. Meta isn't a charity - even if they're not profiting from Llama today, they believe they will at some point.
