- thayne 2mo ago"open source" doesn't even make much sense for a model. But llama isn't even fully open weights due to the restrictions on its use.
- xigoi 2mo agoOpen source would mean publishing the training data and code.
- thayne 2mo agoMaybe. That is still pretty different from the source code for software though. Suppose OpenAI released all the training data, training methodology, and training source code, but didn't release the weights for a frontier model. Would that allow you to build the same model? Not unless you have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on it. And even then you won't get the exact same thing. That's not to say it isn't valuable. But I'm not sure "open source" is really the right term for that either.
- pixl97 2mo agoYea, sounds like an open source nuclear power plant. Knowing how to build it is only half the battle.
