This is a good thing. Many people are of the opinion that model weights don’t have copyright independent of the source code used to generate them. The source code and training data are all open. The model weights are a deterministic function of those. Claiming they have independent copyright is essentially the same as claiming copyright in a binary you compiled from open source code. Seems like a pretty good chance to get a court to agree with this.
- terafo 4y agoModel weights aren't deterministic due to FP math. But I think your argument still stands.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoIf they had to be exact, you could randomize them just a bit and evade the copyright. That doesn't hold up for video/audio, and I think it wouldn't hold up for weights.
