This isn't stealing at all. I want my open source code to be used like this.

If only there was some kind of contract like thing you could release your code under so that there was no ambiguity.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well online...

To be clear: there is and it's pretty difficult to argue that MS is violating even the GPL.

It's not selling you back your code. It's different code, adapted to a different task; your own code is forever free for you, you don't need anyone to give it to you.

Given the cost of running these models, and the utmost dedication needed to train them, I think it is worth it. GPUs cost money, electricity costs money. They can't serve the world for free and offer good latency.

I mean, that's like saying an author steals the open source alphabet and charges you for reading their ordering of letters, as if the ordering of letters isn't where all the value is.

These models are trained on sequences of words, not told the letters and left to get on with it.

It continues to amaze how people are incapable of following even the most trivial cases of abstract reasoning.
