Those models are open weight, not open source.

Open source model would provide you with all the data & tooling necessary for you to rebuilt the model from original or modified data.

You know people are saying that it’s not open source without regard to intent. The intent is 100 percent open source.

The reason why it’s not done is because it takes a huge amount of resources to not only record the training process but to release it in a readable format.

What you’re asking for is almost like surveillance documentation for a model that’s likely put together in a way that’s not easily peaceable into clean step by step procedures.
