An open-source LLM is a large language model whose weights — and sometimes training code or data — are released publicly. Meta's Llama 3 and Llama 4, Mistral, Mixtral, DeepSeek V3, and Qwen 3 are flagship examples. There's a subtle distinction with Open Weight: some releases publish weights only and keep training code and data private. The practical result of the trend is the Open-source Race, where the capability gap with closed providers narrows month after month.
