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

Ok, then my definition givenwas too narrow, when I said “reproducable binaries”. If data claims to be “open source”, then it needs to supply information on how to reproduce it.
Open data has other criteria, I’m sure.
Yes, that’s what I said when you opted to take the first half of a sentence out of context.

The common usage of open data is just that it’s freely shareable.
Like I said in my initial comment, people frequently use “open source” to refer to it, but it’s such a pervasive error that it hardly worth getting too caught up on and practically doesn’t count as an error anymore.
Some open data can’t be reproduced by anyone who has access to the data.
I was specifically addressing the use of the phrase “open source”. And the term “open data” doesn’t apply either, since it’s not a dataset that’s distributed, but rather weights of an LLM with data baked into it. That’s neither open source nor open data.
