Welcome to this two-part series on Generative AI Openness, where we explore the history, current landscape, and potential future of open collaboration and proprietary control in the development of Language Language Models (LLMs). In this first part, we will delve into the importance of inspecting the openness of each component in the LLM training process, and how this can impact the potential limitations on the model use or reuse imposed by one or more of its components. In the second part of this series, we will explore the potential benefits and drawbacks of sharing Generative AIs openly for the collective advancement of society.

Open Source isn’t just a fleeting trend in the tech world; it’s a transformative force, and I’ve had a front-row seat to its evolution for nearly two decades. While many casually throw around “Open Source” as a modern buzzword, for forward-thinking companies, it’s a pivotal strategy. It offers a blueprint for reduced costs, bolstered innovation, and expedited delivery, all the while serving as a magnet for industry talent. Yet, the real magic happens when companies don’t just join the Open Source bandwagon, but truly understand and respect its intricacies. This is where Open Source Governance comes in, which involves identifying and managing risks associated with Open Source components, such as security risks, licensing risks, and IP risks. At Worldline, we’ve risen to this challenge by developing a comprehensive governance structure that ensures effective management and utilisation of Open Source resources.
