Part 4/8:
The open source movement, which traditionally encompasses software that gives users freedom to modify, utilize, and distribute, is still carving its path in the realm of artificial intelligence. The team at the Allen Institute for AI, a nonprofit organization, advocates for a definition of open source that embodies transparency in AI development. This includes not just open weights, but also the release of training data and training code. Such a holistic approach ensures that other research teams can replicate and innovate on existing models without incurring prohibitive costs.
