Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Others Sign Letter Defending Open-Source AI
Many of the largest U.S. tech companies signed a joint letter on Friday defending open-source AI software as the Trump administration considers possible restrictions on Chinese labs. The letter—signed by Meta Platforms, Nvidia, Microsoft and Andreessen Horowitz, along with AI startups like Reflection and Hugging Face—argued that open-weight AI models strengthen competition and expand access to

[RFC] Open Access to Standards Documents
tl;dr: ISO is seeking testimonials from “open source organizations” by June 4th on the importance of open access to ISO standards documents; this RFC is about that statement.

There was an historical experiment run by JTC1, the committee within ISO which is responsible for technology-related standards, to open access…

OpenPINT: Open-source Planning for Isoeffective Nuclear Treatments in BNCT research
Ian Postuma, Sara J. Gonz\'alez, Setareh Fatemi, Cristina Pezzi, Carolina Ruzzon, Oreste Nicrosini, Valerio Vercesi, Silva Bortolussi
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.21476 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.21476 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.21476
arXiv:2606.21476v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Objective: Present OpenPINT (Open-source Planning for Isoeffective Nuclear Treatments), an open-source treatment planning system for nuclear therapies that integrates Monte Carlo dose calculations with modular dosimetric and radiobiological models for photon-isoeffective dose evaluation.
Approach: We describe the software architecture, implementation choices, and data flow from segmented geometry and source configuration to NIfTI dose outputs. We define BNCT-relevant dosimetric metrics and evaluate the workflow with reproducible analytic and voxelized cylindrical-phantom benchmarks, supplemented by a geometric patient-positioning example.
Main results: The module provides a reproducible and scriptable path for generating MCNP-ready inputs, extracting component-wise BNCT dose maps, and computing analysis-ready outputs for quality checks and decision support. Fine-resolution voxelized configurations reproduced the 1 mm analytic reference within 0.13% for the brain-limited irradiation-time endpoint, whereas the full voxelized sweep exposed deviations up to 4.42% in coarse 8--10 mm configurations. Patient-wide gamma pass rates were at least 99.60% for the evaluated mesh/interpolation cases, while low-dose DVH-tail quantities remained sensitive to boundary discretization.
Significance: This first paper isolates and validates the simulation-preparation and dosimetric-analysis core of an open-source BNCT treatment-planning platform. It establishes a foundation for subsequent work on optimization, biological weighting, and clinical workflow integration.

but it seems like people are starting building on it and from what little i've seen it looks kinda interesting?

I don’t like playing the futurologist, but after seeing AI companies warn EU institutions about the supposed risks of open-weight models, I suspect some are lobbying to regain control over genuine open source and open-weight AI.
Don’t fall into the trap: the greater danger lies in opaque, proprietary models, not open-source ones.
