It also doesn't seem to get constantly tripped up by second-person :D
Unless you believe that Meta has staffed a group committed to a robust system of checks and balances and carefully evaluating whether a use is allowed all while protecting surrounding IP of implementing companies (who aren't paying them a dime), then I suggest you not use this for commercial purposes. A single email to their public complaint system from anyone could have your license revoked.
Per their license [1], they are not allowed to revoke the license unless you violate the terms of the license. And with respect to complaints they might receive, the only sort I can think of would be with respect to content people find objectionable. There is no content-based provision or restriction in the license except that applicable laws must be followed.
Provided you're following the law, the license doesn't seem any more revocable & thereby risky for use than any other open resource made available by a corporation. Facebook is just as bound by this license as they would be if they required commercial users to pay them $1M to use the model.
I think this release is less about direct financial gain and more about denying large competitors a moat on the issue of basic access to the model, i.e., elevating the realm of competition to the services built on top of these models. Facebook appears to be betting that it can do better in this area than competitors.

You act like this is a gift of charity instead of attempts to stay relevant.
The best charity is one that benefits both parties, no?

Still fails my hippo test! > Yes, hippos are excellent swimmers. They spend most of their time in the water, where they feed on aquatic plants and escape the heat of the savannah. In fact, hippos are one of the best swimmers among all land mammals. But that's fine. Most do. Hippos don't swim. They walk or hop/skip at best underwater.
Google says that swimming is "the sport or activity of propelling oneself through water using the limbs". It doesn't constrain the propulsion to only be between the limbs and the water. Seems like pushing against the ground to move through the water fits the definition
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...
Agreed. When "free" means that you have to agree to terms that include "we can update these terms at any time at our discretion and you agree to those changes too," that's incredibly sketchy. Meta's business model is "the users are not the customer, they are data sources and things to manipulate," it's especially worrying. I don't understand the hype behind this. This whole offering is bait
This is the biggest bombshell. Google's leaked "we have no moat" memo immediately comes to mind.
Hey HN, we've released tools that make it easy to test LLaMa 2 and add it to your own app! Model playground here: https://llama2.ai Hosted chat API here: https://replicate.com/a16z-infra/llama13b-v2-chat If you want to just play with the model, llama2.ai is a very easy way to do it. So far, we’ve found the performance is similar to GPT-3.5 with far fewer parameters, especially for creative tasks and interactions. Dev…
its not clear but can we also download the model with this Llama v2 Cog thing? EDIT: Meta is being extremely prompt, just got sent the download instructions https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1681351712718876673 also is it now Llama or LLaMA since the website says Llama? lol
