Preferred form and under a free license. Llama isn't open source, but that's because the license has restrictions.

As for if it's a bad take that the preferred form matters—take it up with the GPL, I'm just using their definition:

Today, the weights may be the preferable format indeed, due to the cost. Are you going to change the definition tomorrow, when the cost drops?

Sure, why not?
