So, I see the OSI went through all this effort to define an Open Source AI even compromising on the right to the model's source and...
It did fuck all because Deep Seek, the now prominent "open source" AI, isn't open source and doesn't even comply with the less strict Open Source AI definition.
@wwahammy yup, a lot of so called "open source AI" aren't open source at all. Getting them to the level that would make them OSI-definition-compliant would be a *huge* step forward on many fronts. (The most common offenders are: (1) lack of data provenance information, (2) closed training pipeline.)
…and yes, an open data training dataset would be even better! But in the meantime, I wouldn't mind at all if they achieve the above.
@zacchiro I believe strongly that it's not open source compliant unless it has an open data set. But I also think there's value in things that are otherwise compliant but have a closed data set and that should be recognized in some way. But not by calling it open source.
@wwahammy amen to all of that
