Request to download / access Llama 3.3 rejected
I am a developer working at a US university. I first went toLlama.comto request a download and was rejected. I then came here on HF, entered the request again and got rejected again. I received emails for the rejections from Meta, with the subject “Llama 2 commercial license” and saying “Sorry, you are not eligible to access Llama 2” even though I did not request Llama 2 after the first rejection.So I wonder, what qualifies one to download a supposedly open-source model?Is there any model less restrictive to download?Thanks in advance for the community support!

I recently applied for access to the Meta’s Llama 3.3 models & evals repository, but my request was rejected without any explanation. I would like to understand why my application was declined and whether I can reapply with additional details or corrections.I did get the Meta model, but the format is different and the convert_llama_weights_to_hf method seems to be deprecated.Thank you for your time.Best regards,David Trum

The reasons for approval or rejection of manual-authenticated gated repositories are only known to the author, so I think the only way to find out is to ask Meta directly in the Discussion section below.huggingface.cometa-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct · DiscussionsWe’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
