Just because they call it Open Source does not make it. DeepSeek is not Open Source, it only provides model weights and parameters, not any source code and training data. I still don't know whats in the model and we only get "binary" data, not any source code. This is not Libre software.
There is a nice (even if by now already a bit outdated) analysis about the openness of different "open source" generative AI projects in the following article: Liesenfeld, Andreas, and Mark Dingemanse. "Rethinking open source generative AI: open washing and the EU AI Act." The 2024 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. 2024.
