Meta’s AI models are not truly open source. But, they still use the term to get on the good side of users. Shouldn’t they change the license?
The notion of open source empowers people to freely share software with the world, allowing anyone to view, modify, and distribute copies of the original software, signifying collaboration and freedom at their most fundamental level.
One of the major driving forces behind the movement is the Open Source Initiative, or OSI for short, which is a California-based public benefit corporation with the primary objective of promoting open source around the world.
Such entities are an opposing force when compared to organizations that try to get away by misleading, or completely botching their source releases, resulting in a poor experience for the open source community as a whole.
Now, it looks like Meta’s handling of its Llama AI model has caught flak for not being true to reality. And, I think, this was expected.
