Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see
1. The data it was trained & evaluated on
2. The code

4. Model weights.
DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

Jumping right in here with a collab opportunity:
📣 Looking for a print and web designer to collaborate this spring on a catalog project for a series of three exhibitions I am organizing across the US and Canada. This may also extend to helping devise the graphic identity for these shows. (cont'd)
