The OMI aims to foster the creation and adoption of high-quality, openly licensed AI models that push creativity forward, are free to use, and meet the growing demands for open source AI solutions.<br \/>\nEstablished in response to licensing decisions that create barriers for enterprise adoption, OMI is focused on training and developing AI models under irrevocable open licenses without deletion clauses or recurring costs for access. Formed through a joint effort by founding organizations Invoke, CivitAI, and Comfy Org, and with widespread support from community players like Wand and Sentient Foundation, the OMI is now an official open source foundation hosted by the Linux Foundation and will be governed by a community-led Steering Committee.<br \/>\n\u00abThe Linux Foundation is deeply committed to fostering open and collaborative development around AI,\u00bb said Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation. \u00abWith the Open Model Initiative, we are taking a significant step towards making AI accessible and beneficial for everyone, building an environment where creativity and progress in AI can thrive without barriers.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The primary objective of the OMI is to facilitate the development of generative AI models that are true open source, capable, and ethical. To achieve this, the initiative will:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Establish a governance framework and working groups for collaborative community development.<br \/>\n\u2022 Conduct a survey to gather feedback on future model research and training from the open-source community.<br \/>\n\u2022 Create shared standards to enhance model interoperability and metadata practices.<br \/>\n\u2022 Develop a transparent dataset for training and begin captioning.<br \/>\n\u2022 Complete an alpha test model for targeted red teaming.<br \/>\n\u2022 Release an alpha version of the model with fine-tuning scripts to the community by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abWe believe open source is the best path forward to ensure that AI benefits everyone, \u00bb said Kent Keirsey, CEO and Founder of Invoke. \u00abThrough OMI&#8217;s commitment to open source development under the Linux Foundation, we believe the collective will deliver high-quality, competitive models with open licenses that push AI creativity forward, are free to use, and meet the needs of the community.\u00bb<br \/>\nThe OMI welcomes individuals and organizations passionate about open source and AI to get involved.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, image credited to The Linux Foundation<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New initiative will foster the development of free to use, open and ethical AI models The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, is excited to welcome the Open Model Initiative (OMI) to the Linux Foundation community.
