I'm a well-known OpenAI hater, but there's haters and haters, and refusing to acknowledge great work is the latter.

Well done OpenAI, this seems like a sincere effort to do a real open model with competitive performance, usable/workable licensing, a tokenizer compatible with your commercial offerings, it's a real contribution. Probably the most open useful thing since Whisper that also kicked ass.

Keep this sort of thing up and I might start re-evaliating how I feel about this company.
