Hi @KingBadger ,

Thanks for the feedback! At Cohere For AI, we want to support open research and contribute to it. By releasing our model weights, and making them available to researchers and users, we believe we are contributing to that mission.

If it cant be used, its not open. You should stop calling it Open source / Open research, the license is locked down. So why would anyone use it for research to then not be able to use that research?.

@KingBadger You are free to use the models to experiment and carry out research (and encouraged to do so and publish results and findings!). Additionally, you can modify it and publish your modifications as long as there is proper attribution. The details of the license can be found here - https://cohere.com/c4ai-cc-by-nc-license

If you want to use the models in a commercial setting, check https://cohere.com/command
