    I don’t think the term open-source can be applied to model weights. Even if you have the exact data, config, trainer and cluster it’s basically impossible to reproduce an exact model. Calling a model “open” sort of works but then there’s the distinction between open for research and open for commercial use. I think it’s kind of similar to the “free” software distinction. Maybe there’s some Latin word we could use.
