An anonymous HN user named L pledged $200k for llama-dl’s legal defense: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1641804013791215619?s=6...
This may not seem like much vs Meta, but it’s enough to get the issue into the court system where it can be settled. The tweet chain has the details.
The takeaway for you is that you’ll soon be able to use LLaMA without worrying that Facebook will knock you offline for it. (I wouldn’t push your luck by trying to use it for commercial purposes though.)

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the researchers at MetaAI for their tremendous work. It’s because of them that we have access to such a wonderful model in the first place. They have no say over the legal side of things. One day we’ll all come together again, and this will just be a small speedbump in the rear view mirror.

It's from jart, the author of the PR the submission points to. I really had no idea that this was a de facto Show HN, and it's terribly rude to post my comment in that context. I only meant to reassure everyone that they can freely hack on llama, not make a huge splash and detract from their moment on HN. (I feel awful about that; it's wonderful to be featured on HN, and no one should have to share their spotlight when it's a Show HN. Apologies.)
