The user who submitted the pull request is not part of Meta or Facebook Research, and the users who signed off on reviewing the changes don’t appear to be either. I highly doubt Meta will approve the pull request. The models are being distributed by torrent by someone with access to the models, not by Meta themselves as far as we know. They likely still intend to distribute via the form. This is just someone publicizing the torrent link by being cheeky on GitHub.

(As they didn’t reply to my request for the model - I specified it was for personal use and my use case was “I think it would be fun to run it on my own hardware” - I appreciate this little stunt a great deal!)
