Article confuses open source models with open weights models.

Not the same thing.

It’s used right in the articles body, but title is misleading.

Literally no one cares. There are "full" open certified GMO free grass fed training data blah blah models. Apertus, Olmo, etc. No one cares. For all intents and purposes people use the term to describe a model that you can run locally and are allowed to modify and re-release. The rest is useless semantics. No one can "rEpRoDuCe" a model anyway.

I was advocating for "available weight" as a value neutral term for a while.

I gave up. No one cares. And no one will ever tell the truth about the training anyways.

Substantial and growing freedom beats zero freedom ever again.
