Crazy how a few months make such a difference.

Gotta pump NVDA shares higher

That nvidia announcement was from March, but I think something has been released recently, as there were a bunch of news stories about a week ago. This blog post [1] was released on July 18th, for example.

For any actual openness in released models the dataset they're trained on would have to be released as well, so yeah, it is a bastardisation.

It's under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY). That's about as open as it gets.

It is in nvidia's interest to commoditize one's complement. These models make owning and using nvidia hardware more attractive - being open and all.

There's no incentive to "hide" the sauce.
