I 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.

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?
IANAL, but I imagine it's a legal grey area if the weights can be copyrighted? Works produced by purely mechanical means don't normally meet the threshold of originality.
It would be like playing copyrighted music in your office without permission. Perhaps technically illegal, but your customers will never know what music your Devs were listening to...
Re: Facebook LLAMA is being openly distributed via torrents
#83I'm not surprised-- I recently suggested that someone might try to pull an Aaron Swartz with the LLAMA weights (i.e., release them in an uncontrolled way similar to how Aaron attempted to release the JSTOR database). It's quite misleading for FB to claim that they are being so open, but then hoard the weights and only release it to a few academics. If the paper is to be believed, this is a major development, allowing…
I mean at least they didn’t pick a name that heavily implied they were, are, and always will be open. Then do the opposite. You know, like OpenAI?
So now we got some weights I guess.

#85It’s interesting that these models are both massively expensive to produce and self-contained to a degree that you can distribute the end product in a torrent. This has not been the case for most commercial software for the past 20 years, during the cloud era. If you could steal a dump of random Facebook source code, it would be 99% useless because it’s so closely tied to the infrastructure. There’s almost nothing yo…

I was trying to come to grasp with how much resource there is concentrated in one of these models. Somehow I come to the conclusion that it cost more than buying a jet airliner to train one of these models. And it is about the same order of money as commissi…

#86~220 GB :O That's quite big!
Re: Facebook LLAMA is being openly distributed via torrents
#87opt-175B weights are already openly available as I understand. Hugging-face also has openly available weights for a 176B parameter LLM called Bloom. Is LLAMA offering something over and above these?
EDIT: correcting the type of GPU

And even if it did not, Meta certainly has a more capable legal team with more cash to spend than the average HN user.

#90I give it a week before we see tools for subtly watermarking your secret LLM's weights, so you can trace leaks like this later.
