ConvNets were patented.
The patents thankfully expired in 2007.

Meta’s Data Sharing Policy: Open Source vs User Privacy
By
–
That's false.
Meta has open sourced tons of software and lots of public datasets.
Some anonymized/aggregated usage data is available to academic social scientists.
But private user data obviously cannot be distributed under any circumstance. -

Open Source AI Impact: A World Without PyTorch and Patents
By
–
It would be a useful exercise to imagine where the AI industry would be today if AI research labs in industry had remained closed, had not open sourced their code, had patented everything and enforced their patents. Imagine a world without PyTorch, and with enforced patents on

Correct.
Auto-Regressive LLMs have a role to play: turning abstract ideas into token sequences. -
AR-LLMs Skip Reasoning: Planning in Representation Space Needed
By
–
Auto-Regressive LLMs have a role to play: turning abstract ideas into token sequences (words, actions, code…).
But abstract ideas should be elaborated through planning/reasoning in representation space.
AR-LLMs go directly from prompt to answer, skipping the step of reasoning
