The company #Meta recently released #Llama 3.1, an #AI model they claim is "open source".
This is false. Llama 3.1 is NOT open source.
They released it under a license which under 1.b.iv. demands you agree to an "acceptable use policy" which basically forbids using it in any way they don't like. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meta-llama/llama-models/main/models/llama3_1/LICENSE
