    > E.g, Mistral Nemo can’t be considered open source, because there is no Mistral Nemo without the training data set.

    Right here - that’s your logical conflict. By downloading the model file, you can run it, thereby you can “have Mistral Nemo” even without having the training data, contradicting your statement -> your statement is invalid.

      You’re, hopefully not on purpose, misunderstanding the argument.

      You can download a binary of Adobe Photoshop and run it. That doesn’t make it open source.

      I cannot make Mistral Nemo from just the open-sourced tools, therefore Mistral Nemo is not open source.

        @dandi8 the license of Adobe Photoshop is not open-source because it specifically restricts reverse-engineering and modifications, and a lot of other things. The license of Mistral Nemo IS open-source, because it’s Apache2.0, you are free to use it, study it, redistribute it, … open-source doesn’t say anything about giving you all the tools to re-create it, because that would mean they would need to give you the GPU time. “Open-source” simply means something else than what you think.
