The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has developed a new draft definition for Open Source AI, which is set to be finalized in October. This definition aims to include not only model weights but also training data, code, and thorough documentation. Mozilla has expressed support for this development, hoping that both large and small AI developers will adhere to the new standards. The discussion around open-source AI highlights the ongoing debate about the balance between open and closed systems, with some experts emphasizing the importance of open-source models and accessible hardware to prevent AI from being controlled by a few entities.
We finally have a definition for #OpenSource #AI https://t.co/oLYGJ3640f #GenerativeAI @yannon_ @odonnell_jm @techreview @DeepLearn007 @HaroldSinnott @Shi4Tech @Nicochan33 @joemckendrick @sallyeaves @LouisColumbus @Thomas_Harrer @BetaMoroney @ipfconline1 @Fisher85M @Xbond49
Universal access to AI will be the great economic opportunity equalizer. Important we keep fighting to keep AI from concentrating exclusively into the hands of the few. Open source models and cheaper, more performant hardware is the way forward. https://t.co/1oYmRZLaFV
Borrowing, stretching, Jim Barksdale’s famous observation here ‘there are ‘only two ways to make money in business: one is to … be a closed system…; the other is … is to pretend to be an open system.’ “We’re a long way from truly open-source AI” https://t.co/NXB9cd5weQ
