The email from the license seems unreachable
Hi!
/* first of all, thank you a lot for releasing falcon-180B. This is a great step towards open science and democratizing LLMs - and a great precedent for future releases */
We'd love to add falconllm-180B to Petals (a non-commercial research project) - https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals .
This would allow people to run experiments with falcon-180B directly from their laptops or free colab instances.
We're concerned that our project technically contains a library-specific API (see readme). The purpose of this API is to let users run the distributed model from python in a way that is compatible with transformers (see code example). The API is open-source and non-commercial, but it could theoretically fall under sections 9.1-9.4 of the license:
9.1: Hosting Use means any use of the Work or a Derivative Work to offer shared instances ... in an inference or finetuning API form
The license suggests that we send an email to [email protected] and ask for permission.
Unfortunately, the emails don't seem to get through. We get the following error message from all major email services:
Q1: can we use falcon-180B in Petals?
Q2: can you please check that the email is set up and reachable?
