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).
- p1esk 4y agoThe 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.
