Request for Manual Review of Rejected Meta Llama 3 Access
Hello Meta Llama team,
I am writing to respectfully request a manual review of my rejected access request for meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.
My Hugging Face username is NianqwqGao.
I need access to this model because NVIDIA’s open-source Kimodo project uses it as the required text encoder for generating controllable 3D human motion. I intend to run Kimodo locally for legitimate learning, research, and 3D animation purposes.
I will comply with the Meta Llama 3 Community License and Acceptable Use Policy. I will not redistribute the model weights, share unauthorized access, or use the model for prohibited activities.
If any information in my original request was incomplete or unclear, I would be happy to provide the necessary details. Please reconsider my request or let me know what information is required for approval.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
NianqwqGao
