You can download the weights on Hugginface.

I believe the copyright on AI model weights in the US is not fully established, but so far it has been held that a list of numbers can not be copyrighted, so likely the same applies to model weights. Note that you don't have to enter into an agreement with Adept to use the model.

Alternatively, use and download the weights in Japan that has explicitly no copyright on AI models.

> a list of numbers can not be copyrighted

Any digital object can be represented as a list of numbers (this is precisely the origin of the term digital). Since there is clearly precedent for copyrighted digital objects (media, software, etc), reducing something to "a list of numbers" is not a useful distinction in regard to copyright law.

IANAL but as far as I remember, you can't copyright a list of objective facts, for example a phone book containing a list of phone numbers.

Model weights are clearly not in that category. Happy to be corrected if I misremember.

I highly doubt that any of this will hold up infront of a court. For intellectual property not just the result is important but also the creation process, and there is enough work going into the data science here
