Open-source Model

Also known as: open weights, open model

In one line

A model whose weights are freely downloadable, so anyone can run or modify it.

What does Open-source Model mean?

Open-weight models (Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen) can run on your own hardware or private cloud. They avoid vendor lock-in but require infrastructure and expertise.
