Request to reconsider rejected access for NVIDIA Kimodo
Hi Meta Llama team,
My access request for meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct was rejected. I would like to ask the model authors to review and reconsider this decision.
I need this model to run the LLM2Vec text encoder in NVIDIA’s open-source Kimodo project for motion generation and humanoid robotics research. The rejected access currently prevents me from running the project locally.
The error message is:
“Your request to access model meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct has been rejected by the repo's authors.”
Could you please review my request again and let me know if any additional information is required? If necessary, could you reset my rejected request so I can resubmit it?
I am willing to comply with the model’s license and acceptable use policy.
Thank you for your help.
Thanks!
