Open Source AI Status

With RC1 of the OSI's Open Source AI definition set to come out soon, I think we should modify this page to be in line with their definition. I still think documenting models such as Llama and Mistral are worthwhile, but they are decidedly not Open Source. I am new to editing Wikipedia, so I am not yet sure how to handle the "category" of Open Source artificial intelligence including these models, but I can propose changes and figure out the details later.

Below are my proposed edits:

Change this page to "Open release artificial intelligence" or some other term like that, I am open to and would encourage suggestions. I know that the term "Open weights" is used more often, but it does not encompass all models that we are interested in here, so I propose "Open release" as the alternative for now.

On this page, we would link to the actual "Open Source artificial intelligence" page, and note the distinction between the two - this would look like an expansion of the point currently mentioned under the Llama subheading. Note that all models included on the would still remain on the "Open release artificial intelligence" page, and more could be added as well, but only models which meet the OSI's Open Source AI definition would be included on the "Open Source artificial intelligence" page.

I have some other suggestions for improvement of this page, but I'll stick to this one until it is resolved. JacobHaimes (talk) 02:43, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The title "Open-release artificial intelligence" would indeed include more of the models interesting to cover, but not sure the term "open-release" is widely used. Alenoach (talk) 01:32, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've amended all of the remaining instances of this article describing Llama as open-source in Wikipedia's voice to attribute such descriptions to Meta. The Llama (language model) article currently describes Llama as source-available (which is undisputed) and not open-source (which is disputed and would conflict with our Open-source software article). — Newslinger talk 03:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some Proposed Contributions

I think this page has some really strong content and could benefit from the following changes:

1. New Equity and Ethical Implications section Discuss how open-source AI democratizes access to technology but raises ethical concerns, including bias, misuse, and the need for ethical guidelines.

2. A more structured 'Concerns' section. Specifically, I'm proposing the addition of some new content and the division of existing content into the following categories:

Security Risks (Vulnerabilities in Open-source Models, Lack of Security Updates)
Equity and Ethical Implications (Bias and Discrimination, Lack of Ethical Guidelines)
Regulatory and Legal Concerns (Unclear Licensing and Usage Restrictions, Compliance with Privacy Laws)
Potential for Harmful Applications (Weaponization and Bioterrorism, AI for Manipulation and Misinformation)
Quality and Performance Concerns (Underperformance compared to Closed-source models, lack of robustness in real-world scenarios)

I'm also considering adding Challenges in Open-source AI and Benefits sections, and making updates to the Applications section (to include some new tools), but the two above proposed changes I think are of higher priority.

Happy to incorporate any feedback and also am new to editing Wikipedia, so apologies for anything unconventional. Phzing (talk) 23:06, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your additions look good. I think the article should also introduce the notion of "open-weight". Alenoach (talk) 01:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
