It irks me that I still don't know what an open model means. Or rather, I don't like calling a model that's trained on a closed dataset, with secret techniques as open, even if the weights are publicly available.

I bet 5 imaginary dollars that it'll be a model too big for any consumer to run, making it effectively closed for anyone not in the top 0.1%.

That's not an issue. DeepSeek R1 is massive but people still managed to distill and quantize it. They'll just do the same for this one.

One whole model?? Oh my stars!

Probably won't even be that good.

To be fair, open source models at this point exceed or are similar to OpenAI's best models. There's really no loss in releasing these weights. It might even have some upsides in terms of attracting talent.
