Announcing the Open Model Series: a new series on open source AI models, with merve of Hugging Face. Hugging Face is the open model hub: it hosts model weights, datasets, evals, & demo apps, and maintains the open-source libraries (like transformers) used to run and train them. I think...

What does it mean when an AI model is “open weights” and how is it different than “open source”? Welcome to the next episode of the Open Model Series with merve, Hugging Face AI/ML engineer & open-sourceress! Every week we will discuss open-source & open-weight AI: what it is, how it works, and how you can run them on your own compute. Episode 3 out next week; episode 1 linked below. Please leave all your questions about open-source & open-weight AI in the comments. This is a super important topic that is novel to most people, and it can be challenging to grasp - so your questions are shared with many others.

ELON: CHINA HAS THE BEST OPEN SOURCE AI MODELS RIGHT NOW “The best open source models are generally from China, which is bizarre. I think the second best one, or maybe it’s better than second best, is Grok 2.5. The open source model is actually very good, and we will continue to open source our models.” Source: The All-In Podcast

The future of AI is open-source. And ollama is the easiest way to build AI applications with open-source LLMs. Here's how to build a free, private RAG app using open-source tools. We'll use: - Ollama for LLMs and embedding models - PostgreSQL for data storage and retrieval - pgai Vectorizer for embedding creation and sync (I use Nomic for embeddings and tinnyllama as my LLM but you can substitute them for any models on Ollama)

Jason Calacanis: Anthropic, OpenAI and others are trying to kill OpenClaw Why? Because an open source agent platform is an existential threat to frontier model companies. @jason: “ People are going to say I'm a conspiracy theorist, but the number one goal, I believe, in the large language model, frontier model space, is to kill (OpenClaw). This is a giant movement to stop it, because this is the equivalent of having an open source Android-like player in the market, and that could be incredibly disruptive. Because, I believe, open source is going to win the day on the large language models and take 90% of the token usage, and I think the entire frontier model space could be undercut by open source. And I think they realize that SLMs, the smaller language models that are verticalized now, that will run on desktops and laptops and are even starting to run on the top ones, that is their biggest competitive threat, and I hope it happens.”

You can run local AI models up to 120B without a $10,000 Mac Studio This phone-sized device is your own server for open-source models. 100% local and private. And you can use it to: - Power an agent like OpenClaw 24/7 - Completely replace a chatbot - Literally anything that requires an API It’s called Tiiny, and, once again, you can run the latest open-source models on it.

FROM THE LIVE SHOW: Matt Hicks (Matt Hicks), President & CEO of Red Hat, on open source and collaboration. "I love the model that open source provides because it provides this incredible collaboration." "This is why we're passionate about smaller models, because they allow that collaborative, open source ethos to thrive a little bit better than the frontier models."

Open source/weight models are often used in regulated industries like Health Care or Financial Services, where they handle personally identifiable data, and can't send it to proprietary LLM providers. We recently chatted to Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav about the partnership VS Visual Studio Code and Hugging Face inference providers have to let you use open weight models directly in your IDE! Something that surprised me was just how fast inference providers like Cerebras make it to generate code! In this episode we made a journaling CLI tool using Qwen! I personally love open source and hope more of these models will become small enough to run locally!

Very cool to see Netflix releasing video datasets and models on Hugging Face. They have a strong video AI team and would be amazing to see them open-source more!

SITUATION EXPLAINED: What happens to open source when the US restricts access to frontier AI models? We asked Adrian Dittmann: "China is releasing these models [open source] to gain international dominance, people will work on these things and say, 'Hey, maybe I can contribute to this if it's open source.' This is the thing that actually gets them talent." "If you're not allowed into the next GPT release or you're not allowed to use Fable, then what are you gonna do? You're stuck with the existing stuff, or you will have to use an open source model that might have subtly better capabilities." "The United States will catch up to open source in some form as well. They seem to just be maximizing product creation." "The problem with open source models is you have to be kind of a nerd in order to use them properly. Consumer facing, the effects will be minimal because the average person doesn't care about open source models. They only care whether or not they can do a quick search with Gemini or ChatGPT."

"Closed models are cheaper. The reason you need open models is that they give you control". - Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang "One of the things that people misunderstand about open models is this: yes, you can host them yourself, and you can build your own computer. But most people use computers in the cloud. Frankly, I think closed models are cheaper. If you do not build everything yourself, you avoid the significant cost and expertise required to train, fine-tune, maintain, guardrail, evaluate, and keep the model safe. You would also need to build or obtain the computers required to host it. So, there is nothing cheap about doing all of that yourself. The reason you need open models is that they give you control. You can adapt them for your own highly specialized use cases. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about closed models versus open models. We felt it was important for people to understand that there is a place for both." ---- From "Bloomberg Podcasts" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

Sriram Krishnan reveals why it's easier to defend American code with a Chinese model than an American one right now: "I don't think it is great that the leading open weight models or open source models are not American. There's some great innovation happening with Moonshot and with DeepSeek and with Qwen, but I would much rather prefer that the leading models are American." "Linus Torvalds of Linux fame had a law that given enough eyes, all bugs are shallow. Open weight models are inherently secure because when you download a model off Hugging Face, the entire world can take it apart, inspect it, fine-tune it, look at it in ways that you absolutely cannot if they are closed." "There was an incident with Hugging Face that got reported on earlier today. Hugging Face seems to have found that somebody was using an AI LLM agent to hammer them at multiple places and to find ways to break in." "The way to counter that is to make sure American or Western or allies defenders have access to the best models to make our software just more secure." "It may be harder to look at your own code for exploits with Fable than it is when you use a Chinese model. That's just like a weird spot to be, and I think we should fix that." Sriram Krishnan

Jensen Huang open-sourced NVIDIA's flagship AI model, its weights, its data, AND how they created it. "We open sourced the models," Huang says. "We open sourced the weights." "We open sourced the data." "We open sourced how we created it." Four layers of openness in one model release. "Open source is fundamentally necessary for many industries to join the AI revolution." "NVIDIA has the scale and the motivation to build and continue to build these AI models for as long as we shall live." The chip seller benefits when every model is open. NVIDIA is the chip seller. P.S. I made a playbook breaking down 100+ most powerful decision making mental models used by history's greatest thinkers. 5,000+ downloads. 113 five-star reviews.
