Would you say that Doom is not open source because the WAD are not freely available?

  That's what I meant when I said the open source term kinda got obsolete. With AI the model is the program. I don't even have the training code or the checkpoint so I cannot modify it as the freedom 1 requires. As I see it the weights are more similar to LLVM IR. It got "programmed" by gradient descent. At most you can say the inference code is open source (see sibling thread).

    The confusion here is about what constitutes a “model” - a model source code, model parameters, code to train the model, dataset used to train the model, code used to evaluate the performance of the model? I would probably say that the first two constitute a model. I agree that only the first one (model code) is strictly open source, while the second (model parameters) is not, because it’s not available to everyone.
