#3They don't benchmark against the OpenAI models at all for some reason. In my experience so far even GPT-3.5 was so much better than any OSS models I tried.
Meta must be missing having a cloud business at this point. AI would have fit perfectly with that. Since they ran Whatsapp for so many years kinda without interfering too much, they could have also tried a somewhat independent cloud unit.

#4Key detail from release:
> If, on the Llama 2 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you such rights.
Looks like they are trying to block out competitors, it's the perfect commoditize your complement but don't let your actual competitors try to eke out any benefit from it.

#5> Llama 2 is available for free for research and commercial use.

You don't benchmark foundation model against RLHF model, results aren't very useful.

This is all the page currently displays. Do you have to have a Facebook account to read it? I tried multiple US and Canada IPs. I tried 3 different browsers and 2 computers. Javscript on, javascript off, etc. Facebook seems to be blocking me.
Here's a mirror for anyone else they're blocking: https://archive.is/lsBx0

Hmm. Sounds like specifically a FAANG ban. I personally don't mind. But would this be considered anti-competitive and illegal? Not that Google/MS/etc. don't already have their own LLMs.

With the meta chaotic internal culture, it's hard to handle the cloud as a business. They would be even worse than google cloud

#10Why 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.
