A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Heh, we'll see.

For starters, keep that copy safe, in case Meta has to pull down all the "illegally opensourced" copies of LLaMA. If the "authors" (publisher corporations) have their way, it will become illegal to run the model without paying them royalties, so Meta will only be able to offer it as a paid service. You might still be able pirate it though, if people are willing to share.

For the future, when your next computer comes with neuromorphic RAM capable of running those models a billion times faster... just hope it doesn't also come with DRM checks built in to stop illegal models from being loaded ("RAM access error: unauthorized content detected"... doesn't that sound like every author's dream? 🙄)
