Actually open source, or yet another public model, which is the equivalent of a binary?

URL is down so cannot tell.

It's open weights, not open source.

The label 'open source' has become a reputation reaping and marketing vehicle rather than an informative term since the Hugging Face benchmark race started. With the weights only, we cannot actually audit that if a model is a) contaminated by benchmarks, b) built with deliberate biases, or c) trained on copyrighted/privacy data, let alone allowing other vendors to replicate the results. Anyways, people still love free stuff.
