Open Source AI

AI models whose weights, code, and sometimes training data are publicly released for anyone to use, modify, and build upon.

Definition

AI models whose weights, code, and sometimes training data are publicly released for anyone to use, modify, and build upon. Meta's LLaMA, Mistral, and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion are prominent examples. Open source enables innovation but raises debate about safety and misuse potential.
