Demand True Open Source AI: Push OpenAI and US Tech Leaders to Fully Open Their Models
Related Article: OpenAI finally went open -- sort of. Here's why China should take note. - businessinsider.com - Friday, August 15, 2025, 6:27:06 AM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: OpenAI, Meta, Google DeepMind, xAI, and US policymakers
Goal: Urge OpenAI and major US tech companies to fully open-source their AI models, including source code and training data, to foster genuine transparency, collaboration, and public benefit.
OpenAI’s decision to release GPT-oss with open weights, but without full source code, has been hailed as a positive step in the AI community. Yet, this partial openness does not meet the standards set by the Open Source Initiative or the needs of researchers, developers, and the broader public.
As China accelerates its own open-source AI efforts, the US risks falling behind in setting global standards for transparency, ethical development, and public oversight. True open source means releasing not just model weights, but also the underlying code and data, allowing for independent scrutiny, reproducibility, and innovation.
Partial releases serve corporate and political interests, but do little to empower the global community or ensure that AI development aligns with democratic values and the common good. We call on OpenAI and all major US tech firms to commit to genuine open source AI, and on policymakers to support frameworks that require full transparency and public accountability in AI development.
Key Demands
- Release the full source code and training data for all open-weight AI models, including GPT-oss, Llama, Gemma, and Grok-1.
- Adopt the Open Source Initiative's definition of open source for all AI model releases.
- Establish independent oversight committees to ensure transparency and ethical use of open-source AI.
- Enact federal policies that incentivize and require full open-sourcing of publicly impactful AI technologies.
- Ensure equitable access to open-source AI models for researchers, educators, and marginalized communities.
