always curious what the license allows with these Meta research drops, seems all over the place… can this be used commercially? (specifically inference) it’s creative commons and some parts apache?
The Apache parts seem to be dependencies.

“Everything is useless unless it personally, financially benefits me.”
Why would you spend any of your finite attention here? It's a signal to researchers and would-be upstarts that Meta already lurks here.
Because it is research. And it's an open research, unlike OpenAI or (for the most part) modern Google DeepMind or xAI.
It's completely fair game for non-researchers to ignore that, but even non-researchers benefit from a higher pace of developing understanding how to do this kind of magic.
Thank you people at Meta Research for this release!
Which to me is something important to know when thinking about what can be built and the amount of effort it represents.
For better or worse, that ultimately shapes what can reasonably be done with it.
