"Model weights aren't part of the release for now, to respect OpenAI TOS and LLaMA license."

I feel like the whole Open Source ML scene is slowed down by a strong chilling effect. Everyone seems to be afraid to release models.

Meanwhile, other models are freely available up to alpaca 30b:

I don’t understand why Facebook hasn’t taken down the original magnet links in its own repository.

The people who are maintaining the repository likely have to organise meetings with legal and business teams. When no agreement can be reached, doing nothing is the easiest way forward. They have to do this next to their normal work.

Sending out DCMAs is a different process done, likely done by the legal team.

Why would they?

To avoid the embarrassment of having to serve themselves with a DMCA?

The PR is not in their repository, it's in the fork. Pull Request refers to "pull this from my repository, here's a link", GitHub just presents it in a convenient interface.

(But you're right, those who send DMCAs are likely to just a send a link to the original repository :)

One can assuredly delete the pull request from your own list of open pull requests, right? It isn't that the information exists in theory on GitHub: it is that it is still listed right there when you go to check the health of the project's open issues/PRs.

They could close the PR in their own repo...

Makes sense if they originally licensed the model weights from Meta. Fortunately you can get the weights via torrent without agreeing to the license by visiting facebook's repository and getting the magnet link yourself: https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/pull/73/files

Have you applied for the download? The first links were sent out pretty quickly.
