Thought the same until I read this:

> Contact us at hello-dolly@databricks.com if you would like to get access to the trained weights.

https://github.com/databrickslabs/dolly it’s now available on GitHub

That’s the repo with the code to train the model to get the weights, not the trained weights.

Did you try emailing?

"Hi, could I have the weights? I'd like to upload them as a torrent so anyone can download them freely without having to ask so as to broaden access."

Can you guess what their reply would be?

This is not an issue though, they would just be the weights used by DataBricks, there is no reason you can't add your own right ?

Like giving away a website template without the demo content, it's perfectly normal.

See above, there are simply legal uncertainties about commercial use for users, so want to make sure anyone getting them knows this clearly. That said, you can recreate these weights for like $30.

data transfer might actually be the problem there not something like trying to hide the model

bittorrent, come on

context `come on`, what is the point in sharing the weights ?

Someone lay out the reason they should package the weights with this, when they're allowing you to apply your own ?

This repo isn't what you think it is.

‘come on’ meaning that there is an obvious 23 year old solution to data transfer constraints called bittorrent
