do you have a $100 mil worth of compute to train your own version of this?

I don't understand what gripe people have with open weight models and wanting it to be purely open source. the training dataset is only going to be a copyrighted set of contents you don't want to touch with a 10 feet pole. let alone have a publicly traded company host it for you, even if they internally are training on it.

You don't get why people would like to be in control of a powerful new technology before they build their stuff arround it ?

Sure, there might be currently contraints, but I think it is quite possible training will get optimized over time or crowsourced training can be organized.

Without fully end-to-end open source models you are still at the mercy of the model provider to keep providing updates, you have no idea what garbage they trained the model on & can't fix that, not to mention might end up getting sued for using the open weigth model once all those "AI stole my data" lawsuits are finally decided.

It's just about as open source as OSX, which can be downloaded zero cost here: http://updates-http.cdn-apple.com/2019/cert/061-39476-201910...

I love that Apple made OSX open source.
