So a proprietary program with a lot of knobs and configuration files is kind of opensource?

By what appears to be the logic for "open source AI", a locally executable proprietary program would be "open source" (because you can meddle with the executable). To me, that's mostly just "not SaaS". But somehow, a different definition appears to have stuck for LLMs than for other types of software.
But that's also true for binaries, games are a good example of where people pushed this quite far. Based on what little experience I have in ML, I'd say it's about the same thing. Whereas an API is more akin to a piece of software you can't tinker with in any way.
Guess the bar is just lower in the LLM space :P
