Is that how their engineers built this model in the first place?

Just because they're giving the build artifact of there hard work away doesn't make it open source.

Just because builds are expensive, doesn't mean releasing the build artifacts counts as open source.

I see dozens of your posts here complaining about "not open source." You are either a paid provocateur or a troll. What exactly is missing in your opinion in this release that is making this model not open source? [feeding trolls is fun]

I can't reply in my one tree without being called a troll?

Also, accusing someone of being a paid provocateur is against HN guidelines.

The source the engineers at Mistral used to build it.
