Would you rephrase any of that? Like does any of it sound weird? You can say no

I'm surprised NAME_1 hasn't released LLaMA as open source yet. Maybe a licensing issue with the dataset?

I think it would be their best shot at challenging OpenAI's dominance. Currently everyone who wants to build without OpenAI API is building with LLaMA. The model is not even open source.

If they made it easy for developpers to get started with LLaMA they could easily reproduce the React success story. They already have institutional experience with running large open source projects.

OpenAI is building a strong developer community at the moment and that's a bigger asset than having a superior model IMO. NAME_1 could capture some of that by releasing LLaMA as open source.

The vibrant community around LLaMA would bring many upstream ameliorations to the model plus needed tooling, MLOps software, fine tunes ecosystem, etc. This could in turn bring in even more developers building with LLaMA, potentially creating the largest LLM developer community.

Right now, if Red Pajama ends up being good it might become the foundational model many projects. While LLaMA's family of models may continue, NAME_1 stands to lose a huge part in their governance. They will have less influence in the broader LLM market than they would have had by making the model open source.

Maybe they're just too scared of the bad stuff people might do with it and getting blamed for messing up the internet with algorithms again.

What do you think?
