License question

Cool model.

  1. Is this trained on a public dataset?

  2. Are synthetic datasets included?

  3. What results in this model being only for research use?

  4. Is this a fine-tune of the mistral instruct model OR of the base model?

Hi Ronan,

  1. partially (and the rest will probably be released in the future)
  2. yes
  3. The model is under the Apache 2.0 license of the base model, you can use it comercially at your own diescretion. I just don't recommend it and won't take any responsibility whatsoever as the model was not evaluated for productive/safe use.
  4. base

Hope that helps :)

Many thanks @jphme .

Two clarifications:

  • Was any of the data in 1) or in 2) derived from models that do not have an Apache 2 or MIT license (e.g. OpenAI and Llama have license limitations)? If this is the case, then this model would not be under Apache 2.

I know I'm getting into detail but I want to have the usage correct.

At this time, I won't go into more details on this topic or the exact data generation process, except stating that all data used for training the model was legally acquired and I, as the model creator, believe that I can rightfully publish the model under the Apache 2 license ( but without being a lawyer myself).
Please understand that this is an OpenSource project done in my spare time and I won't elaborate any more than that; even legal professionals have vastly different opinions on many specific questions in this area and I just don't have the time to discuss this.

If you need more details for commerical use, please contact me per mail - our new company Ellamind will develop customized models for business use and we will be able to train models according to your specific licensing/data limitations.
