For what it's worth, I think Kimi's modified MIT license still meets the OSI definition of "open source." For example, the explicitly OSI-approved "Attribute Assurance License"[1] contains similar wording:

> each time the resulting executable program or a program dependent thereon is launched, a prominent display (e.g., splash screen or banner text) of the Author’s attribution information

[1] https://opensource.org/license/attribution-php

  • It probably doesn't because the attribution requirement discriminates against certain groups (large commercial organisations).

I'm glad we are looking to build nuclear reactors so we can do more of this...

  • me too - we must energymaxx. i want a nuclear reactor in my backyard powering everything. I want ac units in every room and my open door garage while i workout.

    • You're saying this in jest, but I would LOVE to have a nuclear reactor in my backyard that produced enough power to where I could have a minisplit for every room in my house, including the garage so I could work out in there.

  • "I'm glad we are looking to build nuclear reactors so we can do more of this..."

    Does this actually mean "they" not "we"

  • I honestly don't see an issue with that.

    Except that instead of this, we're spinning up old coal plants, because apparently nuclear bad.

That's perhaps the best one I've seen yet! For an open weight model, this performance is of course particularly remarkable and impactful.
