Interesting. DALL-E, Dalai ( https://cocktailpeanut.github.io/dalai/ ), and now Dolly are all pronounced the same way. It feels like there should be an xkcd for this.

AFAIK DALL-E is pronounced as Dalí, as in Salvador Dalí. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD

It's quite clearly a reference to WALL-E the environmentally conscious robot, which is pronounced as you'd expect. I like to think of it as DALL-E the surrealist robot painter.

I guess after carcinisation comes dolly-fication...

But I do like the hang for whimsical naming schemes in that field. First sesame street characters, now apparently everything sheep...

Are they? (Not sarcastic, I'm not native and I wouldn't pronounce them all that similar at first sight)

As a native speaker, no, there's hardly any consensus I've seen about how to pronounce them. Certainly there are trends. But I pronounce Dalai somewhere between "Dah-lay" and "Dah-lie", and DALL-E sorta like Dolly ("Dah-lee"), but with a deliberate pause ("Dahl Ee").

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why couldn't you just use OpenAI's API to feed prompts and then take the outputs and use them to train your own model to exfiltrate the best features of GPT?

Because it would be against their TOS, and things could look ugly, legally.

How many TOS agreements do you suppose they violated while training their models?

I might be having a moment - but I can't find any links to a git repo, huggingface, or anything about the models/weights/checkpoints directly from the article. I just see a zip download that AFAIK also doesn't contain the weights/checkpoints. I find this a bit odd, the contents of the zip (from the gdrive preview) look like they should be in a git repo, and I assume they download the model from somewhere? GDrive usua…

The README also says this: > This fine-tunes the [GPT-J 6B]( https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B ) model on the [Alpaca]( https://huggingface.co/datasets/tatsu-lab/alpaca ) dataset using a Databricks notebook. > Please note that while GPT-J 6B is Apache 2.0 licensed, the Alpaca dataset is licensed under Creative Commons NonCommercial (CC BY-NC 4.0). ...so, this cannot be used for commercial purposes

> ...so, this cannot be used for commercial purposes.

The legal relation between models and training data sets seems murky; of course, with the build tooling, you can also substitute in another instruction-following training set if you want to avoid licensing issues with the Alpaca set, whereas if you aren't concerbed with them, you can just blaze ahead.

Are they pulling a Facebook, on model access?

I think they are dodging unclear legal issues surrounding certain steps of the model-building process while being as open as possible with the components given that constraint, allowing downstream users to make their own legal risk vs. effort choices.

Can't they also release the fine-tuned weights as non-commercial as well?

From what I can tell they're fine-tuning EleutherAI's GPT-J.

Alpaca was made to fine-tune LLaMa, however they also released their dataset they used to do this, and it looks like Dolly is this dataset applied to GPT-J, and does not use LLaMa itself.
