I think the problem with this "open weights" thing is that it doesn't map well at all with "open source". If you think about it the actual mapping is more like: - closed weights -> closed-source web service (e.g. gmail) - open weights -> closed-source but you get the binaries (e.g. Minecraft) - Actually open model (with training data, training pipeline etc.) -> open source | ||

True, they don't own the word open. Words mean what people agree they mean, and insisting on more expansive definitions of open got the ecosystem from restrictive licenses in the llama 2 and 3 days to most noteworthy models being MIT, Apache, or OpenMDW (permissive but specifically for model weights). | ||
