Another closed model dressed up as "coming soon" open source. The pattern is obvious: generate hype with a polished demo, lock the weights, then quietly move on. Real open source doesn't need a press release countdown.
Luckily, it seems previous Qwen models did get open-sourced in the actual sense, so this one probably will be, too.
If you're referring to the OSI, they're the ones who invented the term “open source” in the first place, and are authoritative on what counts as “open source” and what doesn't.
> and btw. according to that definition, Qwen isn't open source.
Well yes, the lack of open-sourcing being the context of this thread :)
