Open-Source AI
Open models — Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen and others — are catching up to closed labs and let you run AI on your own hardware, vendor-free. That shifts the balance of power, the safety debate and the economics of the field. Here is everything on open-source AI: open-weight releases, licenses, local deployment and the race against closed models.
