"Open" LLM models are almost never Open Source.
They are "Open Weights." This means the company allows you to run the model, but you have no right to see how it was made or what data it was trained on.
We need to stop letting companies redefine "Open Source" to mean "available for download." Words have meanings.
If a company claims they are open source but plans to "someday" release the code, or hides the training data, they are a poser. This is "Open Washing." They are co-opting the term to earn the community's goodwill for marketing without actually respecting the four freedoms.

Don't be fooled by Meta's claims its Llama AI is open source. As well as its commercial restrictions, Meta's Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy overrides the license & blocks software freedom rights to EU citizens.
AUP: "the rights ... are not being granted to you if you are an individual domiciled in, or a company with a principal place of business in, the European Union"

Episode 23 of "Busted!": Another VC driven company builds growth on the back of a community with the promise to always* be Open Source and after a few years the little asterisk finally kicks in. It says "Gotcha! We don't want you anymore, we now switch to a commercial license"

Kinda saw this coming after all the layoffs of those who worked in the community.."Red Hat has decided to stop making the source code of RHEL available to the public. It will only be available to customers — who can't legally share it."

Been using warp for a while now, and it’s been pretty reliable out the box.
All I need now is for the Co-Pilot CLI to drop 👀
You can try out warp using this link https://app.warp.dev/referral/YP7JP
I also have a custom #Nightwind theme if anyone is interested https://ratulmaharaj.com/snippets/my-warp-theme/
