Lately I've seen 'Open Source' thrown around a lot in the AI space with little regard to if the thing in question is actually using an OSI license.

LLaMA weights are effectively public domain data according to the criteria outlined in statement issued by the US copyright office two weeks ago [1].

Those weights are an original work that was created by a mechanical process that involved no human authorship and involved no creativity. Those weights are not copyrightable under current US law.

I still wouldn't recommend basing anything serious on them until Meta gets taken to court for playing loose with the DMCA.

> We plan to release the model weights by providing a version of delta weights that build on the original LLaMA weights, but we are still figuring out a proper way to do so.

Still a derivative project though?
