No AI org of any significant size will ever disclose its full training set, and it's foolish to expect such a standard to be met. There is just too much liability. No matter how clean your data collection procedure is, there's no way to guarantee the data set with billions of samples won't contain at least one thing a lawyer could zero in on and drag you into a lawsuit over.
What Deepseek did, which was full disclosure of methods in a scientific paper, release of weights under MIT license, and release of some auxiliary code, is as much as one can expect.
As i wrote in my comment i have not read up on Deepseek, if this is true it is definetly a step in the right direction.
I am not saying i expect any company of significant scale to follow OSI since, as you say, it is too high risk. I do still believe that if you cannot prove to me that your AI is not abusing artists or creators by using their art, or not using data non-consentually acquired from users of your platform, you are not providing an ethic or moral service. This is my main concern with AI. Big tech keeps showing us, time and time again, that they really dont care about about these topics and this needs to change.
Imo AI today is developing and expanding way too fast for the general consumer to understand it and by extension also the legal and justice systems. We need more laws in place regarding how to handle AI and the data they use and produce. We need more education on what AI actually is doing.
