The “source” is not sufficient to “recompile” the product (i.e., recreate the weights). Therefore, while the source you got is open, you didn’t get all the source to the thing that was supposedly “open source”.
Well, I’m not experienced in training full-sized LLMs, and it’s conceivable that in this particular case the training process is simple enough that nothing is missing. That would be a rarity, though. But see my edit above — I’m not actually reacting to this release when I say that.
