The exclusion clarifies the scope of obligations and restrictions that attach to Derivative Works versus outputs. By categorizing model outputs outside the Derivative Works definition, the provision affects which restrictions in the Agreement apply to content generated through use of the Llama Materials versus modifications to the materials themselves.
Interpretive note: The legal status of AI-generated outputs under copyright law is unsettled in the U.S. and varies by jurisdiction, meaning this definitional exclusion may not resolve all ownership or liability questions in practice.
Users who generate outputs through the Llama Materials are not required to treat those outputs as Derivative Works under this Agreement's Derivative Works obligations. However, users who modify or improve the Llama Materials themselves remain subject to applicable Derivative Works restrictions in the Agreement.
