Commercial-Usage Open Source Models

Although Llama2 probably tops the list, there are several other major models that have been open-sourced in permissive licenses. Again, you should check these license details yourself, as even the permissive licenses impose some level of restrictions or obligations. Here is my list of some of the better models that I think can be used commercially:

  • Llama2 from Meta (Facebook Research) under a specific license called the Llama 2 Community License Agreement.
  • Mistral 7B and Mistral 8x7B (both with an Apache 2.0 license).
  • MPT-7B from MosaicML (DataBricks) with Apache 2.0 license.
  • Falcon 7B/40B from the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) (Apache 2.0 license)
  • FastChat T5 from LMSYS (Apache 2.0 license)
  • Cerebras GPT AI Model (Apache 2.0 license)
  • GPT4All models (various); some under MIT License.
  • H2O GPT AI model (Apache 2.0 license)
  • Orca Mini 13B (MIT License)
  • Zephyr 7B Alpha (MIT License)

This list is already out-of-date as you read this, I'm sure. There are new models coming out regularly, and there are also various new models being created from other models, such as quantized versions and other re-trained derivative models.
