> We emphasize that Alpaca is intended only for academic research and any commercial use is prohibited. There are three factors in this decision: First, Alpaca is based on LLaMA, which has a non-commercial license, so we necessarily inherit this decision. Second, the instruction data is based on OpenAI’s text-davinci-003, whose terms of use prohibit developing models that compete with OpenAI. Finally, we have not designed adequate safety measures, so Alpaca is not ready to be deployed for general use.

For demonstration and research, not widely nor generally.

The demo was up for a couple of days. The first hours of it being online were rough (80-200 people in queue). It got better the following day, and better still the 3'rd day. I believe they removed the demo ~1week later. IMO they've proven a point - the demo was extremely impressive for a 7b model.
