What Are Open-Weights Models?

Open-weights models are models whose trained parameters are freely accessible, unlike proprietary black-box models, which only expose an API interface.

  • Transparency: architecture and weights can be inspected
  • Independence: no lock-in to a single provider
  • Auditability: can be disclosed to auditors and reviewers
  • Diversity: access to the global model market instead of a single vendor

If you need data sovereignty while wanting to use modern AI, open-weights models on noris infrastructure give you both: full control over your data plus capable, auditable models.
