They have released a ton of open source? Llama 3 includes open training code, datasets, and models. Not to mention open-sourcing the foundation of most AI research today, pytorch.
Llama 3 is licensed under "Llama 3 Community License Agreement" which includes restrictions on usage, clearly not "Open Source" as we traditionally know it.
Just because pytorch is Open Source doesn't mean everything Meta AI releases is Open Source, not sure how that would make sense.
Datasets for Llama 3 is "A new mix of publicly available online data.", not exactly open or even very descriptive. That could be anything.
And no, the training code for Llama 3 isn't available, response from a Meta employee was: "However, at the moment-we haven't open sourced the pre-training scripts".
Sure, the Llama 3 Community License agreement isn't one of the standard open licenses and sucks that you can't use it for free if you're an entity the size of Google.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the code for doing inference?
Meta employee told me just the other day: "However, at the moment-we haven't open sourced the pre-training scripts", can't imagine they would be wrong about it?
Personally, "Open" implies I can download them without signing an agreement with LLama, and I can do whatever I want with it. But I understand the community seems to think otherwise, especially considering the messaging Meta has around Llama, and how little the community is pushing back on it.
So Meta doesn't allow downloading the Llama weights without accepting the terms from them, doesn't allow unrestricted usage of those weights, doesn't share the training scripts nor the training data for creating the model.
The only thing that could be considered "open" would be that I can download the weights after signing the terms. Personally I wouldn't make the case that that's "open" as much as "possible to download", but again, I understand others understand it differently.
Doesn't the training script need to have a training loop at least? Loss calculation? A optimizer? The script you linked contains neither, pretty sure that's for inference only
