Training data without the training regime is useless. A cake is not open source because they list the ingredients.
replyOpen source captures a practical utility as well as a philosophy. When those two cease to converge, the practical prerogative wins.
replyThe correct battle would have been weights + regime. But extremists insisted on data, too, which left Meta as the only other real voice arguing with anything practical. They had open weights. I think eventually open use was negotiated and that closed the case except for the folks still arguing about how to pronounce GIF.

replyIsn't open source not the ingredients but the recipe?
replyExample: The first time I saw the New York Times use “Open Source” in a headline, what they meant was open weights.
replyalso, you can do a lot to finetune or repurpose an open weight model. much more easily than you can mod closed source binaries.
