Linux Foundation Looks To Become More Involved With AI Models, Welcomes OMI


With all the craze around 'AI' and hoping to foster more open-source AI models, the Linux Foundation has welcomed the Open Model Initiative (OMI) into its umbrella of open-source initiatives to help foster high quality, openly-licensed AI models.

This community initiative came about over the summer to help advance open-source AI models while now is becoming part of the Linux Foundation to further their cause. As part of the Linux Foundation, the OMI will be working to establish a governance framework and working groups, create shared standards to enhance model interoperability and metadata practices, develop a transparent dataset for training and captioning, complete an alpha test model for targeted red teaming, and release an alpha version of a new model with fine-tuning scripts before the end of 2024. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
