You don't need to have the commit history to see "how it works". ML that works well does so in huge part due to the training data used. The leading models today aren't distinguished by the way they're trained, but what they're trained on.

I agree that you need training data to build AI from scratch, much like you need lots of really smart developers and a mailing list and servers and stuff to build the Linux kernel from scratch. But it's not like having the training data and training code will get you the same result, in the way something like open data in science is about replicating results.

Reproducible builds of software binaries are a thing, but they aren't routinely done. Likewise training an AI is deterministic if you do it the same each time. And slight variances lead to similar capability models.
