  Wow, everyone was waiting for this to happen. Some people were speculating that they left it up as long as they did to intentionally hurt OpenAI/Microsoft. Regardless of whether that is true or not FB had to do this sooner rather than later or risk losing the ability to enforce the license in the future.

  Honestly though it doesn't matter since the torrent will stay active for the foreseeable future.

  I can't wait until there is a properly licensed open source / open weights GPT model so we can actually start using it commercially in ernest.
