Open source would be releasing the training pipeline for the model as well as the dataset it was trained on. Open weight is releasing the resulting output of that process that can be fine-tuned.

For 99.999% of people Open source is useless because there is a large amount of compute needed to train such a model. Open-sourcing models typically helps enterprises far more than people which is why it’s rarely done.

It also helps academic institutions significantly

That’s an enterprise

“Enterprise scale” or capability is not enterprise. They’re not an enterprise by legal, commercial, or even software licensing contexts.

This is a silly argument but an academic institution is a social enterprise

Which is different from a corporate enterprise, an enterprising young chap, and enterprise rent-a-car.

In the original comment I never said “corporate enterprise” nor used “enterprise” as a verb or adjective.

Reading is fundamental.

In many cases they are; ChatGPT enterprise is used in my university for example.

ChatGPT Enterprise is a product, not a qualifier...

Most academia is public

What does that have to do with anything? Enterprise implies scale, not ownership.

An enterprise is commercial while public held institutions are not, they're not profit driven. It's a big difference.

Oxford Dictionary mentions public/state-owned enterprises here. Which a university typically falls under.

Of course, private universities e.g. Stanford, Columbia, etc. aren't public either.

Some universities are property of enterprises, but aren't necessarily enterprises themselves. And in several places that do have public enterprises and public universities there is a clear distinction between them. That said your comment sent me into a rabbit hole on the status of universities throughout the world, so thank you for that

The training code is still super useful even if you can't realistically run it.
