finetune model for commercial use?

[lw3259111]

We would like to fine-tune your model, and we are wondering if the fine-tuned model can be used for commercial purposes.

I am not from Facebook or Meta but AFAIK:

When you finetune model a to model b and then release model b: The license of model b must match the license of model a.

So AFAIK the answer is: no commercial use is allowed. Only for research.

Well, we will see if this gets merged. Only because 100 ppl. spam "LGTM" it does not increase the probability I guess. But I hope it will.

Depending on your data source - yes. However, I am going to assume that us normal people do neither have the data nor the money to train a LLM from scratch.
