Sorry—who are you and what are the Connect talks? I haven't heard of them and you don't have a bio.

  Facebook Connect is what used to be called Oculus Connect. Kinda their equivalent of Apple's WWDC, I guess. It's when and where the Quest 3 will be officially unveiled in full, for example.

I wish that Meta would release models like SeamlessM4T[0] under the same license as llama2, or an even better one. I don't understand the rationale for keeping it under a completely non-commercial license, but I agree that is better than not releasing anything at all. There seem to be opportunities for people to use technology like SeamlessM4T to improve lives, if it were licensed correctly, and I don't see how any commercial offering from smaller companies would compete with anything that Meta does. Last I checked, Meta has never offered any kind of translation or transcription API that third parties can use. Whisper is licensed more permissively and does a great job with speech to text in some languages, and it can translate to English only. However, it can't translate between a large number of languages, and it doesn't have any kind of text to speech or speech to speech capabilities. SeamlessM4T seems like it would be an all-around upgrade. [0]: https://github.com/facebookresearch/seamless_communication https://github.com/facebookresearch/seamless_communication

  Yeah - different projects have different goals and licenses aren't one size fits all. Depending on the project, type of technology, goals, etc.. we will select or even develop the right license that aligns with those goals. Hope this helps :)
