Hello, @michaelroyzen , I want to work on this issue, can you please clarify this:-

1. The objective of this issue is to add the Llama model to the 🤗 models section right ?
   The inference code for the Llama models is open sourced and weights and tokenizers are available as you mentioned.
   I can try to work on this issue, Please let me know if this issue is open for working and should I proceed or not.

Hello @sayantan1410. At this moment the code for inference is available, but to get the weights you need to fill out the request form from their github. It'd be great for you to work on this, but it would require doing so with a hypothethical set of weights, given that they have not started actually releasing weights to people who asked for it just yet.

[sayantan1410]

Hello @Eric-Wallace-WebHost , I have actually filled up the form for the weights and the tokenizers but since I don't have any related publications so probably, I will not get that. But for now, I will try to work with some hypothetical weights until the weights are released !

Also will there be a Jax implementation? It would be super helpful. I can help contribute to it as well

[young-geng]

I can contribute as well for the Jax implementation! Also I'm not sure if we can just use their pytorch code, since it is released under GPLv3 instead of the Apache License of transformers.

I have the weights. Haven't checked out the rules and I'm gonna assume I can't share it, but if you guys have an implementation I would love to help by testing it out.

At this stage we don't know if there is going to be an implementation in Transformers due to:

• inaccessibility of weights (no one who got them is allowed to share them on the Hub)
• different license of the code

We are looking if the Meta folks would be happy to release the weights in a gated repo on the Hub and if the code will be in Transformers or just put as code on the Hub because of the license. @thomasw21 is working on a PyTorch port that our research team will use in any case.

So stay tuned!

At this stage we don't know if there is going to be an implementation in Transformers due to:

• inaccessibility of weights (no one who got them is allowed to share them on the Hub)

Even if there is no permission to have the weights on the hub, usually transformers models are released with the conversion scripts done for the conversion. Even an implementation combined with the needed conversion script can be useful, because then researchers can convert the model to HF if needed and still use it within their HF based projects without having to reinvent the wheel.

+1 to henk717. Would be super useful even if there was just a way to plug in your own weights and use the existing transformers library!

It looks like the weights are right here.

Working on this today!

Are weights actually copyrightable? Technically, they are just a list of numbers generated by a machine and hence don't fall under US copyright laws.

I say, just upload the weights and call Meta's bluff.

lots of people are way ahead of you on this.
