Open-source artificial intelligence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Open-source artificial intelligence is the application of open-source practices to the development of artificial intelligence resources.

Many open-source artificial intelligence products are variations of other existing tools and technologies which have been shared as open-source software by large companies.[1]

Companies often develop closed products in an attempt to keep a competitive advantage in the marketplace.[2] A journalist for Wired explored the idea that open-source AI tools have a development advantage over closed products, and could overtake them in the marketplace.[2]

Popular open-source artificial intelligence project categories include large language models, machine translation tools, and chatbots.[3]

For software developers to produce open-source artificial intelligence resources, they must trust the various other open-source software components they use in its development.[4][5]

Large language models

[edit]

LLaMA

[edit]

LLaMA is a family of large language models released by Meta AI starting in February 2023.[6] Meta claims these models are open-source software, but the Open Source Initiative disputes this claim, arguing that "Meta's license for the LLaMa models and code does not meet this standard; specifically, it puts restrictions on commercial use for some users (paragraph 2) and also restricts the use of the model and software for certain purposes (the Acceptable Use Policy)."[7]
