What are the benefits of open-source and open-weight models?
Check out last week’s episode for the difference between “open source” and “open weight.”
Welcome to the next episode of the Open Model Series with @mervenoyann, @huggingface AI/ML engineer & open-sourceress! Every week we will discuss open-source & open-weight AI: what it is, how it works, and how you can run them on your own compute.
Episode four out next week.
Please leave all your questions about open-source & open-weight AI in the comments! This is a super important topic that is novel to most people, and it can be challenging to grasp - so rest assured your questions are shared with many others!

Also, if you're new here, hi! I'm Harper. I've spent a decade building AI as a Stanford computer scientist and coding AI systems at Meta & at a startup acquired by NVIDIA. I've always loved to teach, and now I get to create educational videos to share the skills, understanding, and intuition I've worked years to develop with you.
