This, in my view it's a (very smart) move in response to OpenAI/Microsoft and Google having their cold war-esque standoff.

Following the analogy : Meta is arming the Open source community with okish (but in comparison to the soviets and Americans shoddy) weapons and push the third position politically.

Amazon meanwhile is basically a neutral arms manufacturer with AWS, and Nvidia owns the patent on "the projectile"

I'm not trying to biting the hand that arms me - so thank you very much Meta and Mister Zuckerberg.

Now someone, somewhere can create this eras version of Linux, hopefully under this eras version of the GPL.

But Meta partnered with Microsoft for Llama 2.

Some degree of hedging is going to happen given that they're for-profit institutions and not nation states.

But yes I forced the analogy a bit hard :)
