Open source

The foundation of the AI era

Open source powers most of the internet's core infrastructure. The AI revolution is no different. At the model layer, the gap between open and closed has effectively closed.

Companies like DeepSeek and Mistral build models that rival or outperform closed-source competitors, while being cheaper, more flexible, and giving organizations total control. Open source is the structural answer to sovereignty and resilience: fully auditable, deployable on your own infrastructure, free from vendor lock-in.
