Could the weights be FOIA'd?

They are pretty much guaranteed to slap the "national security" label on it, so no.

Hopefully not.

Why not? Would be cool with some new open source models.

I agree but I don't think our adversaries should get a freebie that's trained on our scientific data at a national laboratory.

Which makes me wonder. I'm not sure this applies here but say you train a model on classified information, is the model/weights then classified?

That’s like saying we should stop all education in America so that Chinese people don’t come in and steal our knowledge.

What? How? You can’t compare high school math to cutting edge AI work.

If a model is trained on illegally obtained copyrighted material, are the images it produces stolen?
