Meta's Llama 2: The Non-Open Source AI Competitor to ChatGPT

Meta's newly released large language model, Llama 2, is being criticized for not truly being open source. The Llama 2 Community License Agreement includes restrictions on training other language models and requires a special license for apps or services with over 700 million monthly users. Open-source advocates argue that these limitations contradict the principles of open source, which should allow developers and users to freely use and modify the technology without seeking permission. The license's language and the lack of a public drafting or comment process have raised concerns among experts, who argue that the license is not truly open source.
