Had a blast yesterday morning discussing Open Source for AI models with Yann LeCun, Thomas Wolf and Patrick Pérez at the #Meta AI Startup Program Demo Day! Some key takeaways from our panel and why Open Source is a great opportunity for AI: 💡 The definition of open source for AI Models is still a moving target, with a lot of different components being eligible for open sourcing (the model itself, the data sets, the documentation, the APIs…) but it is a trade-off in terms of allowing flexibility vs guaranteeing the security and fair use of the model, within a legal framework that is still relatively undefined 👀 Open Source is a great way to address the challenges with AI #biases, because opening up the models to more eyeballs and more verification of their choices means better supervision and ultimately fairer results 📹 Developing stronger and higher performing #LLMs currently requires bigger and bigger data sets, and therefore larger and larger investments in terms of compute capacity; however, new technologies are emerging to hone models without additional data, and other types of models (multi-modal or computer vision) will require less data to train 🛠 Why should enterprises implementing AI leverage open source technologies rather than proprietary models? Ultimately it’s about flexibility to adapt and fine-tune the models to each enterprise’s specific use cases, and more control over model costs and model evolution At Scaleway we are strong believers in open source and are releasing our new inference product based exclusively on open source AI models - reach out if you are interested in participating in our beta. Thanks to my fellow panelists and thanks to the Meta team for putting together a great event!
