MSFT's WizardLM2 models have been taken down

They were released under Apache 2.0 and there are backups in case they decide to not release them, or to only release them after further alignment:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;dreamgen&#x2F;WizardLM-2-7B" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;dreamgen&#x2F;WizardLM-2-7B</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;dreamgen&#x2F;WizardLM-2-8x22B" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;dreamgen&#x2F;WizardLM-2-8x22B</a>

It was released under apache 2 and plenty of people already downloaded it so, sorry MS, the cat is already out of the bag on this one.

What a great opportunity to see what affect the fine tuning will have and possibly infer what they mean by harm reduction

They also removed the github page too.<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wizardlm.github.io&#x2F;WizardLM2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wizardlm.github.io&#x2F;WizardLM2</a>

Why have they been removed ?

The team has commented that they skipped a step in the microsoft release process (toxicity check). This is a nothingburger.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;WizardLM_AI&#x2F;status&#x2F;1780101465950105775" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;WizardLM_AI&#x2F;status&#x2F;1780101465950105775</a>
