A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Am I wrong of this is a massive trend with companies developing AI backends?
They release a previous version, free and open source. Then make a next version completely locked down. Do they event want progress?
They want private progress. They want to be the industry leader in whatever it is. They're not progressing humanity, they're making a great fiscal quarter.
Llama 2 is more "open" than Llama 1. Llama 1 was just leaked, and technically not supposed to be available to the public. Llama 2 is actually officially released, even though there are restrictions in the license.
Actually did not know this
In fairness, they didn't release anything open at all.
