Meta's LLaMA 2 Now Open Source for Research and Commercial Use
Unlocking the Power of Large Language Models
Meta has announced the release of LLaMA 2, its latest large language model (LLM), as open source software under the LLaMA 2 Community License Agreement. This decision marks a significant step forward in the development of AI technology, as it opens up access to this powerful tool for researchers, developers, and businesses alike.
Free for Non-Commercial and Commercial Use
Unlike some other LLMs that are subject to restrictive licensing agreements, LLaMA 2 can be used freely for both research and commercial purposes. This flexibility allows developers to explore a wide range of applications, from natural language processing to chatbot development, without being constrained by licensing fees or usage limits.
Accessible through Hosting Providers and Meta Website
To gain access to LLaMA 2, users must visit the LLaMA download form and accept the License Agreement. Once their request is approved, they will receive a signed URL via email. LLaMA 2 is available through a variety of hosting providers, as well as on the Meta website.
Not Open Source, but OSI Applauds Lowered Barriers
It's important to note that LLaMA 2 is not considered open source software in the traditional sense, as it does not fully adhere to the Open Source Initiative (OSI) definition. However, OSI has expressed its support for Meta's decision to lower the barriers for access to this technology.
By making LLaMA 2 open source, Meta hopes to foster collaboration and innovation within the AI community, and drive the development of new and groundbreaking applications that leverage the power of large language models.
