GPL specifies that derived works have to be licensed under GPL, and similarly for other licenses. Their ML model wouldnt exist without the GPL code, ergo its a derived work. Github is not comparable at all, because the code hosted there is just data, not a core part of its functionality.
Feel free to disagree, but my (somewhat limited) understanding of such AI models says that the model data is not core part of its functionality either.
Edit: It's like saying "the internet" is a core part of Google's search algorithm's functionality.
