#2What's the monetization model here? Is this a closed-source version of their open-source model? (That's suggested by the phrase in the article, "a commercial version of LLaMA, its open-source large language model".)

I think the strategy is more to prevent competitors from monetizing

You could pay to customize it and/or retrain it for your use case. Or you pay a subscription and every few months you receive updated weights.

I don’t know, maybe they don’t need to monetize their model? I don’t know if they have to, they need their models to be the best and to support their core business of ads, anything that keeps users on their platform for any reason is their goal. They need their models to be an industry standard and one upon which other things are built.

Yes, commoditize the competition.

LLaMA isn’t licensed for commercial use. It’s probably an update to the licensing.
Facebook benefits heavily from the open source development done on LLaMA. There was a report I saw that facebook has started using llama.cpp internally for inference. Updates to the licensing will cement facebook as the go to choice for open source language models.

There is an open source version available, with weights that were leaked, but licensed as "for academic purposes only".
This seems they will release the weights under some license that allows commercial usage.
How they monetise it (which I assume they will try and do?) is an interesting question.
Maybe some variant of paying a licencing fee?

Free AI models mean more free content, which is exactly what drives facebooks moat.
