I was googling whether there was a logo for the Open Source A.I. definition (OASID: opensource.org/ai). and I ended-up on one of those jolly logo generator websites. I think this one has delightful stalefish/surströmming vibes.
... and while you're here: Why not submit a talk proposal for the Every…

A white oval badge against a pink background. All the inside graphics are red. There's a thin border with the bold heading wrapped around the top saying "Opensource A.I.". Then the left and right corners have small fine text saying "est." "2025". There's a line wrapping the bottom side saying "Coming, Ready Or Not!". In the centre is an inexplicable side image of a fish facing right.

Explaining novel senses using definition generation with open language models
We apply definition generators based on open-weights large language models to the task of creating explanations of novel senses, taking target word usages as an input. To this end, we employ the datasets from the AXOLOTL'24 shared task on explainable semantic change modeling, which features Finnish, Russian and German languages. We fine-tune and provide publicly the open-source models performing higher than the best submissions of the aforementioned shared task, which employed closed proprietar…

"The Free Software Foundation has been sliding into irrelevance more and more by entirely failing to address its big Creepy Uncle problem. Open-Source has turned into a form of unpaid internship to be hired to make shitty apps that bring more surveillance and ads to our world."

A Formal Model of the Economic Impacts of AI Openness Regulation
Regulatory frameworks, such as the EU AI Act, encourage openness of general-purpose AI models by offering legal exemptions for "open-source" models. Despite this legislative attention on openness, the definition of open-source foundation models remains ambiguous. This paper models the strategic interactions among the creator of a general-purpose model (the generalist) and the entity that fine-tunes the general-purpose model to a specialized domain or task (the specialist), in response to regula…

Enlightening thread on Proton's new LLM
social.cryptography.dog/@ansuz

ansuz / ऐरन (@ansuz@social.cryptography.dog)
I know that a bunch of people in my general region of the fediverse already stopped using #Proton because of their CEO's fascist inclinations, and that if you're following me you're probably already sick of generative AI. Even so, I feel like this is worth pointing out if only for harm reduction. Proton has introduced their own LLM model, or perhaps an integration of an existing "open-source" model (the OSI's definition, presumably) which they haven't credited: https://proton.me/blog/lumo-ai …
