Percona CEO Peter Farkas argued at Open Source Summit Europe that AI model weights alone should not be labeled open source, because they do not include source code, training data, or the full reproducible process. He warned that conflating open weights with open source could dilute the meaning of open source, even though open-weight models remain useful for running and experimenting with models locally.
