Linux Foundation: Slash costs, boost growth with open-source AI

The Linux Foundation and Meta are putting some numbers behind how open-source AI (OSAI) is driving innovation and adoption.

The European Open Source AI Index #OSAI now rates the openness of #DeepSeek R1 and #DeepSeek V3.

I am confused by the new Open Source AI definition not requiring sharing the training data.

From the official FAQ of the OSI: "This approach would relegate Open Source AI to a niche of AI trainable only on open data [...] That niche would be tiny [...]"

I fail to see the problem here. Wasn't FOSS a small niche before GNU picked up steam?

(Also, if I'm not mistaken, the word should be "trained", not "trainable". A tiny but important difference)

Can someone enlighten me on how this is a sensible idea please? I am open to different opinions on the matter.

TIL that a #BlackBox #AI can be defined as #OpenSource.

Granting the “freedom to fine tune” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source AI just like granting the “freedom to configure” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source Software.

Yet, for #OSI it's enough.

And you can't provide effective solutions to the problem they pretend to see into making training data available.

Or you will be silenced.

Copyright law makes a case for requiring data information rather than open datasets for Open Source AI

When we look at applying Open Source principles to the subject of AI, copyright law comes into play, especially for the topic of training data access. Open datasets have been a continuous discussion point in the collaborative process of writing the Open Source AI Definition. I would like to explain why the concept of data information is a viable alternative for the purposes of the OSAID.

I feel bad for #Osai

I'd imagine #OSAI would be great for #librivox , even better if it could do multi language translations.
