It's only Open™️ if I can run the API on my own machines.

Indeed. I really don't understand how proprietary SaaS is "Open". It's just as locked down as IBM Watson and even moreso than Google's WaveNet-aaS.
If big LM's are the future then even if you had the model you couldn't run it on your own machines without having a DGX or two laying around.
Some of us do. And we can’t run OpenAI’s model, so it’s not open.

The essence of open source is that the resources are made available to you (without warranty). That isn’t the case here.

Run the model yourself and you can.
