What is and isn’t public

An evidence-based summary of what this catalog has documented. It is not a verdict on the organization as a whole.

Databricks released DBRX Base and DBRX Instruct weights in March 2024 under its custom Databricks Open Model License; as of this review its Hugging Face organization lists no public models, and DBRX is kept here as an archived record. The same organization lists public datasets such as databricks-dolly-15k.789
