Weights being open isn't like code being open. With code, you can inspect the code to see what it will do. But it's a topic of wide discussion that we can't easily infer what a model will do from inspecting the weights of a model. The process has emergent behaviors we can't predict.

Perhaps something like

    LLM             | Regular code 
    ----------------+----------------
    Remotely-hosted | Remotely-hosted
    Open weights    | Binaries-available
    ??              | Source-code available
