>There's a philosophy of open source based on recipients being able to make any small and large modifications to the source material as they see fit. The reason I see it as a strawman is because the weights are the source of the AI model and they do allow you to modify the model however you please. The data is not owned by Meta, they can’t release it and it’s not required to use or modify the model. This is like wanting a team to release the research that informed product development with their source. The data and training code are not the same as the AI model itself. This is not the same as code that produces a binary, this is more like code that produces another form of code. If you try to replicate the model you won’t be able to because the process is not deterministic. There’s no reason to replicate the model, you would fine tune it instead.
