PALE Large Language Models, instead of ``Open Source.''

Read Original

This article critiques the use of the term 'Open Source' for Large Language Models (LLMs), arguing that LLMs do not meet the traditional definition of open source software due to a lack of true source code access for study and modification. The author proposes the alternative term 'PALE LLMs' (Publicly Available, Locally Executable) to more accurately describe these models. It discusses the history and definitions of 'Free Software' and 'Open Source' to support the argument.
