The data is in: open-source AI has reached parity with closed models and costs a fraction of the price — but it's still not making it to production at the rate it should. Today we're publishing our inaugural State of Open Source AI report that includes insights from hundreds of developers. The capability debate is settled. The real decision has moved off the model and onto the harness that still makes open hard to deploy. Full data, geopolitical picture, and where open source AI could head next. stateofopensource.ai

i’'m giving a talk at @WeAreDevs this Thursday on the 8th layer of the AI stack and why openness at every layer is essential. if you're building with AI, you've already chosen a stack. the only open question is whether you're building it or renting it.

haven't posted here in a while. coming back for a reason. we're dropping something July 14 that i've been building toward for the better part of a year. the inaugural state of open-source AI report — the real numbers, not the narrative. more soon.

.@EmCollective’s Raffi Krikorian at #AspenCyber Summit: The information environment we’re in ahead of the #2024Elections is scary. People are getting their information from small up-and-coming #platforms that don’t have the staff or resources to address mis- and #disinformation.

Great discussion at @AspenDigital with @raffi and @C_C_Krebs on the work we are doing in Michigan to educate and empower voters to spot deepfakes and reject misinformation in advance of the 2024 election cycle. Trusted voices for the win! 🙌🏼

Great @AspenDigital discussion on 2024 election security by @C_C_Krebs, @JocelynBenson and @raffi. An important reminder that the entire goal of disinformation and election interference is to deceive voters and the have them act on that deception. Our focus must be on that.
