Actually open source, or yet another public model, which is the equivalent of a binary?
URL is down so cannot tell.

It's open weights, not open source.
The label 'open source' has become a reputation reaping and marketing vehicle rather than an informative term since the Hugging Face benchmark race started. With the weights only, we cannot actually audit that if a model is a) contaminated by benchmarks, b) built with deliberate biases, or c) trained on copyrighted/privacy data, let alone allowing other vendors to replicate the results. Anyways, people still love free stuff.
Just accept that IP laws don't matter and the old "free software" paradigm is dead. Aaron Swartz died so that GenAI may live. RMS and his model of "copyleft" are so Web 1.0 (not even 2.0). No one in GenAI cares AT ALL about the true definition of open source. Good.
Good?
