Their mission of making AI available to a broad section of society vs concentrating power among a few special interests justifies the name as far as I’m concerned. The name open does not have to mean “everything is FOSS and available on GitHub” in my opinion.

- notahacker 5y agoA black box model, a subscription fee for API access and an exclusive licensing deal with Microsoft doesn't sound very open I mean, you can make a better argument for Windows being "open". Available to a much broader section of society, as an installable product not API privileges that can be withdrawn, and a lot more of what's under the hood is exposed, documented and moddable.
