Small corrections. Llama 3.1 is not an Open Source model, but a Llama 3.1 Licensed model. Neither is DeepSeek apparently https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3/blob/main/LIC... which I was of the false opinion that it is. Though I never considered using it, so haven't checked the license before.
You can just ignore the license since the existence of these models is based on piracy at a scale never before seen. Aaron Swartz couldn’t have even imagined violating copyright that hard.
If you live in a glass house, you won’t throw stones. No one in the LLM space wants to be litigious
It’s an open secret that DeepSeek used a ton of OpenAI continuations both in pre training and in the distillation. That totally violates openAI TOS. No one cares.
