Weights are basically algorithm. It is not even obfuscated. Companies successfully produce derivative works from them, what is the problem?
One does not require git history for any Foss project, the exact way the code was produced IA not the requirement, it is the reproducibility that matters.
They’re a little better. Many of their models are open-source and can be run offline.
there are no open source models. There are open weight models.
No models make available the way in which they were produced, aka the source.
There is one: Apertus by ETH Zürich.
