Semanlink - LLM AND Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT)

Because the leaked model was theirs ([LLaMA](tag:llama)), they have
effectively garnered an entire planet's worth of free labor.
Since most open source innovation is happening on top of
their architecture, there is nothing stopping them from
directly incorporating it into their products.
