Weights are the source, training data is the compiler
2 comments

Training data == source code, training algorithm == compiler, model weights == compiled binary.
Training algorithm is the programmer, weights are the code that you run in an interpreter
isn't it more like the data is the source, the training process is the compiler, and the weights are the binary output.
