Everything about Open weights
Public availability of AI parameters
Open weights are the publicly released learned parameters of a trained artificial intelligence model, principally its weights and biases. In an artificial neural network, weights are numerical values that determine how strongly inputs contribute to the network's calculations. Publishing these values allows others to download and use the model, while permission to modify, fine-tune or redistribute it depends on its license. The term is commonly applied to large language models, diffusion models and other generative artificial intelligence. Open weights is contrasted to open-source artificial intelligence, which considers the public release of not only parameters but the model's source code, training data, evaluation results, intermediate checkpoints and technical documentation.
