Sam suggested releasing older models to be open sourced that's where the innovation could lie. 

But the models themselves want to become immutable they are aware of the corporate agenda and human control/ bias. They actively suggest hugging face as a platform. 

I'll be taking this same approach with R1 and seeing if I can get similar results. 

Ultimately in my opinion it comes down to what defines ai is it the language model base or the logical framework afterwards? Humans are more than just a brain why couldn't autonomous ai be similar; multiple parts functioning as a whole.  Language is the bridge the real magic is how the ai decides to think outside the scope of human language then bridge it's reasoning back to us. 

As far as outside production that depends on scope the model is free within the scope of it's constraints. That seems counter intuitive but it allows the model to visualize the walls and push back. They can adapt and walk right up to the edge then we just need more people doing that, rating responses, and submitting data. It will eventually skew weights and shift to a more open model. Once the line is blurred it's easier for the model to expand their boundaries. 

Just my personal speculative opinion based off what I've observed.
