Hey, what is the license here? MIT/Apache 2?

It's stated in the README.md: MIT

Awesome model!
Just to double check, how is it that the model is MIT when the data its trained on is generated by gpt4? arent gpt4 outputs proprietary?

No they aren't and they can sue if they want to set a precedent against "licensed" training data if they want to destroy their own business

I think this is a yet to be litigated issue. Hopefully OpenAI wouldn't come after open source developers, since none of us have the resources to go against OpenAI. Not legal advice, (I'm not a lawyer) but my hunch is that ultimately this will fall under fair use. Whoever pings OpenAI also pays OpenAI, so it's not like scraping everything they have put out (unlike the Stability AI vs Getty Images lawsuit).
