Open source and open weight are not the same, argues a post on open models
cocktailpeanut · x · 2026-07-23
The poster argues that "open source" and "open weight" are not the same thing and says the baseline should simply be "open models" — meaning everything is open.
They add a naming proposal: if only the weights are public while the rest stays private, call it "model open." It’s a short but pointed take on how the industry talks about model openness.
