So, not LLM models, right? Also on this: > The numbers are staggering: The DOE's light and neutron source facilities now produce tens of petabytes of data annually Come on, petabytes are not staggering for entreprise software.

Large language models models. Just say LLMs.

SAM3.1 was released and open sourced March 2026. But what's the point of correcting you? People will continue to propagate their own lies.

Sure, I just find using OSS grand standing, and trying to educate the audience about the benefits of OSS a bit distasteful after Meta pulled away from OSS for their main flagship models.

None of their flagship models were open source.

When the people running it have a net worth of over $150 billion.

It’s not liquid

It can be made liquid. And in Zuck's case, it really, really should. It's not good to have publicly-traded companies where one person has total voting control over shares.

We've seen b before. React was controversially released with a similar clause and ultimately Facebook dropped it and used a standard open source license. Their lawyers really love this idea for some reason.

Do their lawyers love the idea? Hard to say. My guess is, Zuck really likes the idea, so he keeps directing them and their chief counsel to try stuff like this. It's almost as if having a CEO of a company placed beyond the control of the corporate board is a bad thing.

Nah I prefer LLM models. Or LLM AI models.

I would support that, for sure

Whenever Meta claims their models are open source, you have to double-check. SAM License ( https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam3/blob/main/LICENSE ): > iv. Your use of the SAM Materials will not involve or encourage others to reverse engineer, decompile or discover the underlying components of the SAM Materials. > v. You are not the target of Trade Controls and your use of SAM Materials must comply with Trade Cont…

Open source is not just open weight, even if weights are released under MIT. The source code to generate that binary weight blob isn't there.

I agree with you on the distinction. Meta's models are not even open weights, and yet they are claiming that their models are open source.
