Thus, "open AI" is best understood as "as free product development" for large, well-capitalized AI firms, done by tinkerers who will not be able to escape these giants' proprietary compute silos and opaque training corpuses, and whose work product is guaranteed to be compatible with the giants' own systems.
The instrumental story about the virtues of "open" often invoke #auditability: the fact that anyone can look at the source code makes it easier for bugs to be identified.
