It's not just the weights though is it? You can download the training data they used, and run your own instance of the model completely separate from their servers.
Did "they" publish the training data? And the hyperparameters?
I mean, I downloaded it from the repo.
You downloaded the weights. That's something different.
I may misunderstand, but are the weights typically several hundred gigabytes large?
Yes. The training data is probably a few hundred petabytes.
Oh wow that's fuckin huge
Yeah, some models are trained on pretty much the entire content of the publicly accessible Internet.
You don't download the training data when running an LLM locally. You are downloading the already baked model.
