This doesnt look open source, so maybe not a good comparison with ROS


I see in their FAQ:

> Will PeppyOS be open source?

> Yes! PeppyOS will be fully open source under a BSL license before the end of this year. Once the software is mature, everyone will be able to contribute and participate in its development.


BSL is not an open source license. It is a proprietary source-available license that prohibits any "production" use.


BSL will just prevent people from creating a competing SaaS product on top of PeppyOS, nothing will prevent anyone from using it for free commercially


Really enjoyed reading this post, and wanted to make it more broadly visible. I am planning on trying this out to see how far I can push it.


Beware folks, I got directed to it by someone saying this was open source but it isn't.


+1 this has become my go to cli tool now, very impressed with it


Omg these are amazing. Have not seen these resources before


Yeah it lowers that barrier to getting re started. It did for me at least


Author of the post here. Just reading the comments so apologies for getting some of the terminology wrong. The intention was never to mislead folk , just wanted to share my enthusiasm for emulation and the fact that you could get working code.


Lovely post. Thanks for sharing.


Thank you!


Is this open source? It says the model is the Llama license which is NOT open source.


This is a bit confusing. It appears the model license https://ai.meta.com/llama/license/ is different from the code license (Apache 2.0).

Seems like... there are lots of opportunities these days to clear up what open source means?


It seems hopelessly confused, because there are no open source models, only some that allow free redistribution of the model weights. Perhaps they should be called "open" and the word "source" should be dropped.


This is debated until the end of time. Open weights, whatever you want to call it. Essentially people and companies can use LLama 2 commercially as long as you have less than 700m MAUs if I recall correctly.


"Weights available" seems apt.


Great post, really enjoyed the breakdown and approach taken.


Yup this is how I see things evolving too. It’s a long game though and I suspect there will be a few twists yet to come.
