According to the language of the proposed bill, people who download AI models from China could face up to 20 years in jail, a million dollar fine, or both.
I meant the useable application as a for example chat bot.
The model itself is useful as far as it enables me to understand the underlying logic of the whole thing right? But without the data and I guess a training period with it I can’t use it if I understood it correctly.
If I am right with the above this wouldnt make it useful as in I can reproduce it as a functioning application and I wouldn’t call that opensourve in my understanding of the word.
@prenatal_confusion in that case your understanding is incorrect. For example any data in a database is not part of “open source software” even if the app becomes useless without that data. Think of it this way - open source is supposed to ensure that someone can continue developing and maintaining the project even if the original maintainer gives up. It’s a protection from abandonware and vendor lock-in. You are able+allowed to take the model weights and feed it more data to continue training.
Okay let’s talk terminology
