Although the model weights themselves are also outputs of the training, and interestingly the companies that train models tend to claim model weights are copyrighted. If a set of OpenAI model weights ever leak, it would be interesting to see if OpenAI tries to claim they are subject to copyright. Surely it would be a double standard if the outcome is distributing model weights is a copyright violation, but the outputs of model inference are not subject to copyright. If they can only have one of the two, the latter point might be more important to OpenAI than protecting leaked model weights.
