commerical use

[janglichao]

the chat example seems base on Facebook models，I mean,if I worked on those default steps to build own models is that allowed commercial use? What if I want to train own model

Hi @janglichao, our DeepSpeed Chat pipeline is licensed under Apache, please see the license for more details but my understanding is that it does allow commercial use.

Our current example training recipes use OPT models which I believe would inherit the OPT license for any trained models: https://huggingface.co/facebook/opt-1.3b/blob/main/LICENSE.md

If you use our DeepSpeed Chat pipeline with a model like GPT-J that combination would produce an artifact that is (as far as I understand) commercial compatible.

This all being said, I am not a lawyer and you should review the individual licenses carefully :)
