DeepSeek proves the future of LLMs is open-source

It’s because prominent people with large followings are confusing the terms on purpose. Yann LeCun of Meta and Clem Delangue of Hugging Face constantly use the wrong terms for models that only release weights, and market them to their huge audiences as “open source”. This is a willful open washing campaign to benefit from the positivity that label generates.

I agree it would be nice to have the training specifics. Nevertheless everything DeepSeek released is under the MIT license right? So you can go set up a cloud LLM, fine tune it, and, do whatever else you wish with it right? That is pretty significant no?

It is, but words mean things. If I said I got you a puppy and gave you a million dollars instead, that'd be nice, but what about the puppy?
