The Walled Garden vs. The Public Park

  • Closed Source (Proprietary): Like a restaurant with a secret recipe. You can eat the food, but you can't know how it's made or cook it at home.
    • Examples: GPT-4 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic).
  • Open Source (Open Weights): Like a community cookbook. Everyone can see the recipe, copy it, and change it.
    • Examples: Llama (Meta), Mistral, Stable Diffusion.
