#32For anyone wondering, it includes 4 models: 7/13/30/65 billion parameters, the smallest one is 14Gb, the largest one is 131GB, all four are 235Gb.

#33Is there anything stopping anyone from using this for commercial purposes? I know that when you fill in the google form you need to agree to noncommercial use, but someone downloading this will never have agreed to that licence agreement.
I don't know. Is there anything stopping you using the latest Miley Cyrus album for commercial purposes if you downloaded it via torrent and never agreed to any licencing terms?

#34In case it's not clear what's happening here (and from the comments it doesn't seem like it is), someone (not Meta) leaked the models and had the brilliant idea of advertising the magnet link through a GitHub pull request. The part about saving bandwidth is a joke. Meta employees may have not noticed or are still figuring out how to react, so the PR is still up. (Disclaimer: I work at Meta, but have no relationship w…
It's not even clear someone has leaked the models. A random person has put a download link on a PR, it could be anything.
Yes you're absolutely right. I went by another comment that seemed to confirm the contents, but that could be trolling too.

#35Why is Meta open sourcing its AI through torrent? Or am I understanding it all wrong
Theyre giving it to universities for free. Someone got access and then made PR with a link to the torrent

#36Are there any official checksums available? I'm happy to see this, even if it's an unsanctioned stunt, because I think it's really pathetic of meta to want to gatekeep their "open" model. But ML models generally can execute arbitrary code, I'd want to make sure it's the real version at least.

#37I wonder what the memory requirements would be to run such a large model. I'd love to be able to run this model, alas my MacBook can barely run toy models.

Given that the cat is out of the bag, if I were them, I would say that it is now publicly downloadable under the terms listed in the form. It is great PR, which if this was unintentional, is a positive outcome out of a bad situation.

#39The torrent is 224GB total, a load of 13 to 16GB .pth files

#40FWIW this information was already freely available via DHT scrapers like btdig [1] I think everyone at Facebook knows that torrents aren't secret and the Google form is basically a legal tool to shield them from liability while making litigation against anyone misusing the model easier.
