Comment on If you can't reproduce the model then it's not open-source

Applying the term "open source" to AI models is a bit more nuanced than to software. Many consider reproducibility the bar to get over to earn the label "open source."

For an AI model that means the model itself, the dataset, and the training recipe (e.g. process, hyperparameters) often also released as source code. With that (and a lot of compute) you can train the model to get the weights.
