CLT25: Openwashing ans Licht!
Update. From Julien Sobrier: "We need a common understanding of what an open model means [for #AI and #LLMs]. We want to watch out for any #OpenWashing, as we saw it with free vs #OpenSource software."

#NAFO It's extremely unfortunate that a small minority in the #OpenSource community who have previously spoken very favourably about Meta's #Llama, or even gone as far as labelling it as Open Source, are claiming the OSI's OSAID is what enabled #Meta's #Openwashing.
Meta's Open washing predates the OSAID, and OSI have been fighting it for almost two years now! The OSAID is the best tool to win that fight.

Yes. I called this #openwashing because it used the halo of openness or transparency to block regulations that would protect the environment and climate. (Medical studies on the harms of airborne pollution could not fully open their data, for reasons of medical privacy.) Here are the #OATP items I tagged with that sort of openwashing during the first #Trump administration.

But note that #Project2025 calls for both (1) this older kind of #EPA openwashing and (2) direct, unembargoed #OpenAccess (or #PublicAccess) to EPA-funded research, echoing the Biden-era #NelsonMemo. See p 439: "Add teeth to long-standing executive orders, memoranda, recommendations, and other policies to require that EPA regulations are based on transparent, reproducible science as well as that the data and publications resulting from taxpayer-funded activities are made immediately available to the public."

Anyone who? I find the use of 'open source' in most cases (including Meta) is a marketing choice, exactly as for the word open in OpenAI company name. Of course Meta models are surely less closed than those of OpenAI, but that's all.

I'm starting a #Mastodon thread on the new #Trump administration's actions and positions on #OpenAccess to research.
I posted frequently about the actions of his first administration. But I did it on #Twitter / #X, which I no longer use.
Also see this wiki page where I'm collecting my old Twitter posts on his first term and my new Mastodon posts on his second term.

For updates, watch this space.
it may not be perfect, but it gives us a chance to overcome the wave of #openwashing which poses a fundamental threat to Open Source. The @osi will continue to work to improve it in the coming year.
