My binary is saved in a PE format. Which is the most readable format available. You can view the architecture of the software by opening it in the basic Ghidra pseudocode decompiler. All Windows software is now "fully open source."
Chengyao's Medium post is advanced reverse-engineering work requiring a detailed knowledge of the appearance of specific ML algorithms saved in a binary format. And even with this knowledge, Chengyao was only able to _speculate_ about the behavior of the model and the desired response to certain inputs.
What would satisfy me from Comma, if they were aspiring to some kind of "open" label, would be a detailed document explaining each layer of the ML system and what its goals are - like Chengyao's Medium post, but without the need to reverse-engineer the system and attempt to infer its behavior!
Now, maybe Comma don't aspire to be truly open, in which case, that's fine - In that case, Comma is a closed model with an open-source CAN interceptor on top. So essentially, crowd-sourcing the tedious and high-liability parts (vehicle integration, driving video) while owning the valuable parts (training data and model architecture). Very cool!
