This is in fact pretty explicitly not open source: https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-recipes/blob/d83d0ae7f5c...

(And given there is no LICENSE file, I’m afraid you can only use this code as reference at best right now)

It doesn’t look that useful to use as it. But the approach there are investigating is clearly and well documented in plain text. Seems like a valid contribution to public knowledge to be grateful for, even if it can’t be use verbatim.

I would just hope that they disingeniously stop promoting these kind of things as open source

This content could easily be a blog post and worth a read. But it’s in notebook form to make it interactive.

It’s a tired comment narrative about these being about open source.

It’s literally the title in the README: https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-recipes/tree/main/recipe...

(Please note that the parent poster has edited their comment. Before edit, they implied that it was the OP who included the words “open source” in the HN post title.)

Also the text is enjoyably playful “For our GPU poor friends” and “let's proceed to justify our distaste for writing regex”

It might be a mistake since it's different from what's stated in their readme:

https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-models/blob/main/models/...

(which is referring to the license of Meta Llama 3.2)

Oh, I see the links now, thanks! But they reference four different licenses, and those are the licenses just for model weights I think?

If the intention was to make something that you can only use with Llama models, stating that clearly in a separate code license file would be better IMO. (Of course, this would also mean that the code still isn’t open source.)

Thanks but I will use it anyway.
