    It’s not reallyyyy open source . But I suppose neither is almost any LLM.

    The OSI (Open Source Initiative) definition mandates that training data be disclosed and open.

      This is more or less the most open source you can get at the moment. And it is way better than OpenAI which is open only in the name.

      And listening to JD Vance the other day talking in Paris how the US plans to usurp that technology, I really hope they succeed, as we need more democratic access to AI and not controlled by a single nation.

        Hmm, I thought it was open-weights only, but I think you might be right, I’ve checked HuggingChat and it’s one of the options, so you’re probably right. And yes, it’s better than OpenAI

      Yeah, if it’s truly open source then I want to see the training data i.e. the “source”
