open source llama

https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lit-llama

Independent implementation of LLaMA that is fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license.

This implementation builds on nanoGPT.

Why?

We believe that AI should be fully open source and part of the collective knowledge.

The original LLaMA code is GPL licensed which means any project using it must also be released under GPL.

This "taints" any other code and prevents meaningful academic and commercial use.

Lit-LLaMA solves that for good.
