Nature looks
at a recent paper on the openness of “open-source” language
models.

It is not yet clear how many of these models will fit the EU’s
definition of open source. Under the act, this would refer to
models that are released under a “free and open” licence that, for
example, allows users to modify a model but says nothing about
access to training data. Refining this definition will probably
form “a single pressure point that will be targeted by corporate
lobbies and big companies”, the paper says.
