I dont think they claimed this anywhere? It seems that the only reason for Alpaca not releasing weights is Meta's policy for releasing Llama weights.

Plus they already released the data they got from the GPT API, so anyone who has Llama 7B; an ability to implement the finetuning code in Alpaca; and 100 bucks can replicate it.
(EDIT: they released the code. now all you need is a willingness to torrent Llama 7B and 100 bucks)

The way AI is used to launder copyright and licensing is concerning. Copyrighted data is used to train a model. The model’s output, now also licensed, is used to finetune a second model, also separately licensed. Finally, this highly licensed model is considered for public release.
The attitude is basically the same as a pirating but there is no similar legal precedent.
To be clear, I think AI research should be open.
