Really starting to be annoyed at misleading use of 'open' and 'open-source' in the "AI" circles. When it's not downright a decoy.

They released the source and are planning to release weights. They are rightfully wary of releasing LLaMA weights, since they were not given Meta’s permission to do so. So they will release deltas. You will have to provide your pet LLaMA yourself.
the chatbot gui is open source, the thing to make the chatbot work is not released at all.

basically, this is just a wrapper for your own LLM .bin file and is just a GUI for any LLM. instead of typing a prompt in terminal, now you.... go to terminal anyway and it launches a happy looking GUI

Hi Vicuna developer here. We are going to release the weight delta, and you should be able to reproduce the chatbot if you have the original LLaMA weight. We cannot directly release the weight due to LLaMA's constraint.
