LLM weights are not protected speech.

Actually yes they are. Code has been determined to be protected speech.

  • Weights are not code.

    • Is talking about weights? Is saying "You know what, ....., make great weights" speech? In a scientific article is the data appendix protected speech?

      Generally, instructions to create something are speech, weights could pretty clearly be seen as instructions to create a chatbot.

      All I am saying is that it is complicated, they could go either way with it.
