While i don't disagree, that's missing the forest for the trees - the point is having the freedom to share models and continue to open-source.

I'll argue that between stable diffusion and llama 2, there is nothing highly specific that prevents [very] large amount of people from adopting these models and specializing for them own needs.

The tragedy would be if those went away.

Yeah but llama2-level AI may be insignificant in power compared to future models, which may be inaccessible to the public. Even assuming the algorithms/code are open, people at large won't be able to create working models.

Not sure at all, when you look at amount of opensource being done in regards to quantization. One of many examples: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GGML
