Not only it is available, but people have been fine-tuning LLaMA using GPT-4 outputs and training data generated by it for a while now; that's why you see models with names like gpt4-x-alpaca on HuggingFace.

But it is, waitlisted-gated, but available. I have API access.

I think it is available now.
