Also, it's only weights AFAICT — no source training data/code is available.
You know it’s a bad timeline when releasing the equivalent of a binary is considered “open”.
In fact, this very model is such modification (fine tune) of the original base model.
I feel like we should try to reserve "open" for something that has all of the "four freedoms". The key thing about this is that it's not inspect-able, but it is derivable. Derivable-weight license?
EDIT: Looking at the "four freedoms" [1], "freedom 1" is:
> The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
Essentially the thing about weights is that you can superficially retrain bits of it to adapt it to your use case without needing to do a full re-train. But of course, without access to the training set, you can't really be sure what's in those weights, nor make more fundamental changes that would require adding or removing data.
