    Can I remake the model only including Creative Commons sourced training material?

      You can reuse the data however you want, yes. You just can’t do it with their proprietary model. So, again, the ENGINE is not open source (the thing that drives their released version), but the model and data as it runs as released you can do whatever you want with.

          Nope. Free for educational, research, or commercial. I’m sure their license has some restrictions on what that actually means once you get to be competitive with the original as a product, but otherwise free unless you start a massive enterprise based on it, at which point you probably wouldn’t use it anyway. It’s just an LLM, it’s not doing anything super special like folding proteins for drug development, or curing cancer.
