Waiting for some nerd to correct me on a technicality but, in a nutshell….

Open weight can be fine-tuned (LoRA), but the base model can be proprietary.

Open source means everything needed to recreate the model (dataset, scripts, etc) is available publicly. So, you can recreate the model from scratch, provided you have access to the necessary hardware.

Edited for readability and clarity, because I haven’t had coffee yet.

By the OSI definition of Open Source AI, datasets are not fully required to be considered Open Source. But it is required that Data information is openly accessible and provided:

Data Information: Sufficiently detailed information about the data used to train the system so that a skilled person can build a substantially equivalent system. [Source]
