LLAMA is an open-weights model. I like this term, let's use that instead of open source.

Can a human programmer edit the weights according to some semantics?

It is possible to merge two fine-tunes of models from the same family by... wait for it... averaging or combining their weights[0].

I am still amazed that we can do that.

Yes, there is the concept of a "frakenmerge" and folks have also bolted on vision and audio models to LLMs.

Yes. Using fine tuning.
