From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Basest of Based.
Personally, I try to mainly use locally hosted Open Source LLMs, and mostly for research purposes.
"Open Source" is a misnomer for LLMs. The weights are comparable to binary blobs.
The difference is nobody knows what the binary blobs are made of
You could recreate them if you had the training data, which is pretty much never disclosed.
You could of course use one of the models that are trained on open data sets. Maybe a little worse than those directly from Mistral etc but truly open source
I decided I don't care for imaginary AI copyright and will use Llama as if it is public domain.
