You can open source dataset without all the details how it was assembled.

Models are lossy compressed datasets you can pick up and amend (fine tune / continue training / alter) according to license they were released under.

Hy4 is released under OSI approved Apache License 2.0.

Parent poster is technically right - open “source” implies the source used to make something is open. The model source is training data and code, not just weights.

But the reality is, the weights are a useful artifact that you can use to create derivative works. So, dismissing it as a photoshop binary is as technically wrong as calling it open source.

Countries that aren’t competitive need access to training datasets so that they may train their own similarly capable models and be sure of the inputs. Governments cannot blindly trust open weight models from China and the US.

So windows is open source because the binaries are a lossy compression of the original source?
