Open source models are immutable, this is a big pain.
When you open source a piece of software, users leave their feedbacks via issues or PRs. You can merge their feedbacks in semi real time, this creates a positive cycle. Then you have a community.
LLMs don't have these nice micro steps. There are no hot fixes. Even a minor version bump is an endeavor. I'm quite confident my model is being used by teams somewhere. But until next launch, it's awfully quiet.
I don't know the solution. Just a regular lament before weekend. 🤗
