Llama's license explicitly disallows its usage in the EU. If that doesn't even meet the threshold for "terrible", then what does?

Indeed, this is something they changed in the 3.1 version of the license. Regardless, the license [1] still has many restrictions, such as the acceptable use policy [2]. [1] https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-

This is like saying any python program is open source because the python runtime is open source. Inference code is the runtime; the code that runs the model. Not the model itself.

Regardless of the training data, the license even heavily restricts how you can use the model. Please read through their "acceptable use" policy before you decide whether this is really in line with open source.

Open source requires, at the very least, that you can use it for any purpose. This is not the case with Llama. The Llama license has a lot of restrictions, based on user base size, type of use, etc. For example you're not allowed to us

You also can't use it for training or improving other models. You also can't use it if you're the government of India. Neither can sex workers use it. (Do you know if your customers are sex workers?) There are also very vague

Indeed, fine-tuning is still possible, but you can only go so far with fine-tuning before you need to completely retrain the model. This is why Silo AI, for example, had to start from scratch to get better support for small European languag

Without Meta, you would still have Mistral, Silo AI, and the many other companies and labs producing much more open models with similar performance.

Note that Meta's models are not open source in any interpretation of the term. * You can't use them for any purpose. For example, the license prohibits using these models to train other models. * You can't meaningfully modify

Oh, wow, I came here for the same thing. The tone of the post got more and more annoying as it progressed. Posting quotes from reddit as if they're intellectual discussions was a red flag, but this specific statement was just too much

The reasoning is that apple's marketplace is such a central cornerstone to digital life that it becomes a public resource.

When thinking about what governance structure to use for our hackerspace, we thought about RFCs for a bit, but I'm glad we went with something different. RFCs give way too much power to people who like to argue. This quickly kills enth

You are creating a strawman. The original argument is not "they created encryption that isn't broken before". The argument is "encryption created by competitions that are only refereed by NIST is trustworthy"

Don't quote me on this but I think the limiting factor is that gravitational pull needs to be stronger than the expansion of the universe.

Stars are formed when clouds of gas and dust collapse into themselves. Either the cloud is big and dense enough to collapse into a star, or it will remain as a cloud. Our Jupiter was created when, during the collapse, other forces pulled pa

Interesting how rebuilding the support from the ground up allowed them to find a bug in the existing implementation. It really speaks to the quality of Asahi's work, imo.

This is a strawman argument. You're misrepresenting the pushback and then argue against that misrepresentation. A large part of the pushback can be summerized as such: "Google created a technology that is incompatible with the ope
