What is Open Weights?
It is the sharing of the trained internal parameters of the artificial intelligence model with everyone.
Overview
Open Weights is making the internal settings and mathematical weights created during the training process of an artificial intelligence model publicly available. In this way, developers can run the model on their own computers or add new features to it.
How it works
The company that trains the model makes huge file sizes of weight data available over the internet. You can also customize the model by downloading these files and running them on your own system.
Where it is used
It is used by companies and researchers who want to run artificial intelligence on their own servers, to keep the model completely under control.
Commonly confused with
It is mixed with open source software; Open Weights provides the internal structure of the model, but sometimes the data used to train the model itself can remain private.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change everything on the model with Open Weights?
You cannot change the basic structure of the model, but you can make it specialize in certain subjects by adding new data to it.
What does it take to run these models?
It usually requires a powerful graphics card or high-capacity server hardware.
