Open Source AI Week kicks off on Monday with a series of hackathons, workshops and meetups spotlighting the latest advances in AI, machine learning and open-source innovation.

The event brings together leading organizations, researchers and open-source communities to share knowledge, collaborate on tools and explore how openness accelerates AI development.

NVIDIA continues to expand access to advanced AI innovation by providing open-source tools, models and datasets designed to empower developers at the system level. With more than 1,000 open-source resources available on the NVIDIA GitHub repositories and over 450 models and 80 datasets on the NVIDIA Hugging Face collections, NVIDIA is accelerating the pace of open, collaborative AI development.

Over the past year, NVIDIA has become the top contributor in Hugging Face repositories, reflecting a deep commitment to sharing models, frameworks and research that empower the community.

Open source is essential to driving innovation and progress. By empowering anyone to use, modify and share technology, it fosters transparency and accelerates discovery, fueling breakthroughs that benefit both industry and communities. That’s why NVIDIA is committed to supporting the open source ecosystem.

Looking ahead, we’ll share the stories behind these contributions — including a new episode of the AI Podcast featuring NVIDIA’s Bryan Catanzaro, vice president of applied deep learning research, and Jonathan Cohen, vice president of applied research, discussing NVIDIA Nemotron models and why open source lies at the heart of AI progress.

We’re on the ground all week — stay tuned for a celebration highlighting the spirit of innovation, collaboration and community that drives open-source AI forward, with the PyTorch Conference serving as the flagship event.
