Not all models have Free weights and not all models that are Free can run on your hardware.

Normally the "can't run on your hardware" is a little dubious, but given how insanely high the hardware requirements can get to run these I think it's meaningful here.

I'm still here to create a product/tool/script/solve something and not just to write code.

If anything i do helps to make the ecosystem around me better i'm for it.

And if you look at anything LLM right now, all the research happening, its not opensource doing the research. Its high paid google, ms, etc. people and academy replicates it fast for opensource.

We already have a give and take on both sides.

Without them, we would not have that at all.

I assume you mean open weight rather than open source, but: https://ai.meta.com/research/
