Open Minds, Open Models: Exploring the Open-Source AI Ecosystem
Artificial Intelligence is evolving at lightning speed — and not all innovation is locked behind closed doors. In this Tech&Meet session, we’ll dive into the world of open-source AI and explore how it is shaping the future of technology. You’ll discover the differences between open- and closed-source AI, their unique advantages and limitations, and how organizations can leverage both.
We’ll take a closer look at the Hugging Face ecosystem, one of the most vibrant hubs for open-source AI, and showcase how you can get hands-on with tools, models, and datasets to kickstart your own AI projects. Whether you’re a developer, researcher, or simply curious about the AI landscape, this session will provide you with the insights and practical guidance to start experimenting with open-source AI yourself.
