I haven't done so, but don't you sign an agreement when you ask Facebook for a link to download the weights for LLAMA which is currently the only officially supported way of getting those weights (https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/tree/main#llama) ?


I haven't used Llama for anything other than playing around to test its capabilities, so I feel fairly comfortable admitting publicly that when I did that testing, I did not download it from Facebook using an official portal, and I didn't sign any agreement about it.

On that subject, to the best of my knowledge, I also haven't signed any kind of agreement with OpenAI. I've done all of my GPT testing through 3rd-party services or portals that don't require signing EULAs to use.


Why would you bother using an "officially supported" way of downloading the weights if they aren't copyrightable anyway?


I got the weights via BitTorrent, so no I didn't sign/agree to anything.
