Llama access is granted, and models are posted to /aicg/. /aicg/ is later linked to in news articles and on GitHub.
Every OP states "Pygmalion-6B model a non-filtered collaboration made by our own Matrixteam, KoboldAI and TavernAI".
Worth noting the llamanon literally put on his application the "/aicg/ research team" and it got accepted. - tear

Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) on Monday said it will continue to release its artificial intelligence tools to approved researchers despite claims on online message boards that its latest large language model had leaked to unauthorized users.
"While the model is not accessible to all, and some have tried to circumvent the approval process, we believe the current release strategy allows us to balance responsibility and openness." - Meta spokesperson

String "/PygmalionAI/" blacklisted in Colab notebooks.
Pygmalion models themselves not banned.
You may be executing code that is disallowed, and this may restrict your ability to use Colab in the future. - Colab
They banned a single string containing nothing but our project's name, it was indeed targeted; It's not a full-on ban though, but it does threaten you with getting your account banned if you use any notebooks that contain /PygmalionAI/ so the message is pretty clear to me. - 11b
