Another non-open source license. Getting better but don't let anyone tell you this is open source. http://marble.onl/posts/software-licenses-masquerading-as-op...

I’m not worried about the semantics if it is free and available for commercial use too

I’m fine just calling “a license”

Google's model is not as capable as llama-derived models, so I think they would actually benefit from this. > I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon does as well. I would - they are not a very major player in this space. TikTok also meets this definition and probably doesn't have LLM.

I have no idea how you are so certain of that.

Meta is definitely ahead of Google in terms of NLP expertise and has been for a while. I suspect that Google released their best model at the time with Bard.

> OpenAI's ChatGPT hit 100 million MAUs in January, and has gone down since. poor reading of the numbers. one guy at a bank pulled up similarweb and guesstimated 100m registered users and it went viral. whisper numbers were closer to 50m. but in the 6 months since they have certainly crossed 100m and probably are north of 500m, and only recently dipped.

You are countering whisper numbers with more whisper numbers.

Fight fire with fire..... ?

Do they? Considering how much was at stack in term of PR when OpenAI released ChatGPT, I would be surprised that Google didn’t put out the best they could.

Why doesn't FB create an API around their model and launch OpenAPI competitor? It is not like they don't have resources, and the learnings (I am referring to actual learning from users' prompts) will improve their models over time.

GPU constraints. Time spent serving an API is time not spent training new models (for publishing or R&D).

That's an oddly high number for blocking competition. OpenAI's ChatGPT hit 100 million MAUs in January, and has gone down since. It's essentially a "Amazon and Google don't use this k thx."

How do you find Whisper numbers, it’s open source yea?

I think it's aimed at other social networks. TikTok has 1 billion monthly active users for instance

To reduce the valuation of OpenAI.
