You can’t reproduce it from scratch. That’s about all. The fact that this is effectively impossible anyway without tens of millions in funding to pay for compute apparently doesn’t factor into it. I don’t think this is an issue about open source, or pragmatism or utility or even ideology very much. There’s one big tech company that makes open source models available. Instead of rewarding this behaviour, some people think that attacking them for it instead is the best response. I think this is a primarily social phenomenon which really just boils down to “meta bad” with various post hoc justifications tacked on.
