You absolutely could. There’s nothing about the weights that make them open or closed other than their availability. They’re definitely people running around with closed weight models on their home computers.

What are you implying here? That someone has created their own LLM therefore they are running a closed weight model on their own computer? Or that someone was somehow able to get the weights of a closed commercial model (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc) and is running that on their home computer?
I mean, yes. Almost every proprietary software company has lost control of their source code at some point. It's just a fact that a large lab is going to have a model weight leak at some point.
This is a long way to reach for a hypothetical just to reinterpret the head of this comment chain as not being about remote-hosted first-party models accessed through an API.
Could you link a source? Not even the weights, just the news that there was a leak. I'm chronically online and I haven't heard about this.
