Open Source AI strategy
The future of AI is open. Developers dislike closed models. Enterprises demand transparency. And open source ecosystems are winning—faster, cheaper, and more innovative. If your AI strategy doesn’t include open source, it’s not just outdated—it’s a liability.
- 76% of AI engineers refuse to work with closed foundational models.
- Community-led projects move 3–5x faster than proprietary ones.
Whether you’re launching a new AI model, platform, or toolset, we turn open source into your competitive advantage—before someone else owns your market.
