They were only for the free market if they could force it on others.

I could understand banning closed source models but open sourced models that work better than anything propriety isn’t that just the free market that corporations like to pretend to be part of?

Well its still not Open Source.

Is part of the code not available?

None of the code and training data is available. Its just the usual Huggingface thing, where some weights and parameters are available, nothing else. People repeat DeepSeek (and many other) Ai LLM models being open source, but they aren’t.
They even have a Github source code repository at github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 , but its only an image and PDF file and links to download the model on Huggingface (plus optional weights and parameter files, to fine tune it). There is no source code, and no training data available. Also here is an interesting article talking about this issue: Liesenfeld, Andreas, and Mark Dingemanse. “Rethinking open source generative AI: open washing and the EU AI Act.” The 2024 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. 2024

Damn that sucks it should be open source. Let people fork and optimize it so it uses less electricity as possible.

It’s also the free market for those corporations to buy a government and use it to outlaw competition.

Define “open sourced model”.
The neural network is still a black box, with no source (training data) available to build it, not to mention few people have the alleged $5M needed to run the training even if the data was available.

The term itself is actually shockingly simple. Source is the original material that was used to build this model, training data and all files that are needed to compile and create the model. It’s Open Source, if these files are available (preferably with an Open Source compatible license). It’s not. We only get binary data, the end result and some intermediate files to fine tune it.
