“If y’all could stop calling an LLM “open source” just because they published the weights… that would be great.”

      Dude, the CPU instructions are right there, of course it’s open source.

        The training data is NOT right there. If I can’t reproduce the results with the given data, the model is NOT open source.

      No, but I do call a CC licensed png file open source even if the author didn’t share the original layered Photoshop file.

      Model weights are data, not code.

        You’d be wrong. Open source has a commonly accepted definition and a CC licensed PNG does not fall under it. It’s copyleft, yes, but not open source.

        I do agree that model weights are data and can be given a license, including CC0. There might be some argument about how one can assign a license to weights derived from copyrighted works, but I won’t get into that right now. I wouldn’t call even the most liberally licensed model weights open-source though.
