"LONDON — Fitting artificial intelligence into open source isn't easy. Yes, AI
foundations rest firmly on open source. And yes, a handful of important
programs, such as IBM's Granite Large Language Models (LLM) and RHEL AI, really
are open source. But most of the AI models you're always hearing about — such
as Meta's Llama — are not open source. Mind you, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg
claims it is open source. However, as a panel of open-source experts at the
State of Open 2025 conference pointed out, that's not true."
Via Steven Vaughan-Nichols, who wrote "Zuckerberg is pro-open-source so long as
he makes money from it. That’s fine. Even RMS conceded that you can make money
from free software. But he also wants to control what open source is, and
that’s not good at all."
