They could provide access to the training code. It's useful for training smaller models or distilling larger ones. They don't need to release every details involved in tuning the optimization parameters during the pre-training stage.
That doesn't mean anything in particular other than that the weights can be downloaded and run. What's interesting is the terms under which they can be used - there are quite a few "open weights" models that can only be used for non-commercial purposes without a paid license, like Command R from Cohere (cc-by-nc-4.0).
Can it be used commercially? Is the training protocol going to be open? Or just the weights released like Llama models?
