The Allen Institute for AI (AI2) has introduced OLMo, an open-source language model, including the model code, weights, training data, and associated toolkits, under the Apache 2.0 License. This move is seen as a significant step in driving AI development and providing transparency in AI research.
Open source AI, including OLMo, is gaining traction, challenging closed, proprietary large language models (LLMs) from companies like OpenAI and Meta, and attracting praise from industry experts, including Meta’s chief scientist Yann LeCun.
Despite its progress, open source AI continues to face criticism from some researchers, regulators, and policymakers, who raise concerns about its potential dangers.
