The llama models use a non open source license [0].

Yes it is still better than not being able to access the weights at all, but calling these weights open source is not correct.

Look at Apple spending a billion on ads to say they respect your privacy or the Earth. Meta is buying / licensing a market sector in an industry they dominate where they have full control of our data. Our data is what got them that billion dollars.

No, they spent billions on a model and released the weights, and that's fantastic! It's not not open source though.
