The weights are non commercial and while their code is GPLv3 they’ve only released inference and have removed anything that would give away the training methods :)

The paper highlights the training methods pretty clearly though including what tweaks they made.

Yeah, but their history ( and accumulated goodwill ) are similar to Microsoft's. They may say it is 'open' or sprinkle appropriately sounding corporate speaking all over the press release, but the actions will, at best, temporarily prevent them from going 'full evil ahead'.

And I like that announcement. I just don't think they will actually follow through on this.

Yann LeCun, who is director of AI research at FB is all over the ML Twitter talking about this model. I think they will actually release the weights.

When? Why didn't they release them already?

Big if. It’s been a few days they’ve released the model, and no one I know (academics) has gotten access to it yet
