@det_conan_kudo anyway, opening something is better than securing a proprietary SaaS solution.
This is a step towards a local user who wants the very own personal LLM, even despite hardware requirements.
Distribution might still be a problem but at least there's a fulcrum to put some efforts to 🤷♂️

@zuck I like that the model is openly available but really dislike how Zuck hijacked the term "open source".
Are model parameters considered code? Id say its closer to a compiled binary as its not like anyone can easily understand and change those parameters to make it do what they want it to do. On the otherhand models can be built upon even as a black box. But its not like real open source. There needs to be a better term.
Perhaps just call it a "public model".
@vjprema @zuck the entire industry decided that, for AI, you can do "open source" without any "open" or, surprisingly, any "source".
Model weights, without context, without the architecture usually, without training data, without the source code, is just one sliver above useless. You can't actually spin your own competitor to these companies with what they give you
