Meta presented OPT: Open Pre-trained Transformer Language Models on May 2, 2022. At the time they publicly released several models, ranging from 125M to 66B weights, and stated that access to the 175B model (OPT-175B) would be supplied to researchers upon request.

The paper claims the 175B parameter model was "comparable to GPT-3, while requiring only 1/7th the carbon footprint to develop."

Will the weights to OPT-175B be available online by May 2, 2023?

Resolves YES if there is a public release by Meta, or a leak or a hack making it possible to obtain access to the weights.

A similar Metaculus market exists, though with an earlier end date:

https://www.metaculus.com/questions/10874/opt-175b-hacked-by-2023/

Matching terms to the Metaculus market, this resolves YES even if the leaked/hacked weights are sold, rather than made freely publicly available.
