Crazy to see the thread of people using “open source” differently. The term “open source” may have successed in replacing the older term “free software” (in popularity) but apparently it can also fail to be clear. “Open” can mean various degrees of openess, or lack thereof in this case.

The AI bubble is currently grinding my gears on this. “XXX is an open source model”. No, it’s not. Do I have access to all of the information necessary to recreate it? No, I don’t as nobody releases training data.

Training data is the source of these models. Without it, they are just free use.
