Worth noting that Llama and derivatives most likely can be used for commercial use, despite what the licensing terms say. There seems to be growing consensus that model weights are not copyrightable, and therefore adhering to the terms of the license isn't required if you downloaded them from a third party.

Obviously being legally right doesn't necessarily save you from having Meta's legal team breathing down your neck...

So if I embed a custom "special sauce" model in my phone app, to do inference faster on the device, my bigger competitors could simply extract it from the bundle and use it too?

Perhaps that's okay, I don't know, but it seems strange that the little pieces of client-side javascript are so copyrightable yet this other work isn't.

No, you don't.

Agreed. Information sparse, lays out almost nothing. One would do better by far to just go to /r/LocalLlama and sort all by Top.

Have you come across any resource that lists hardware requirements for open source models (GPU/VRAM, CPU, RAM)?
