Where did you get this info? because I would love to use it, but I went through their info and it says they use a lot of the same data as 1.5 and the acknowledgement section of their site says: "The dataset is CC BY NC 4.0 (allowing only non-commercial use) and models trained using the dataset should not be used outside of research purposes"
Would love it if I could use LLaVA, but don't want to spend the money on like 18 A100s for 24 hrs that they use for training it. A lot of the models using CC BY NC 4.0 datasets, like VILA, thats not available for commercial use unless you train the model yourself. This is the first time at least a research or company has been open with this info, they specifically say: only the pt models can be used with fine-tuning for commercial use.
LLaVA is even less open than PaliGemma, it is trained on CC-BY-NC4.0 data so it can't be used commercially. I emailed the team about it. At least with Pali-Gemma the base pt models are available to be used commercially if you fine-tune them yourself
