What to look forward to
AI builders will gather for Open Source AI Week's kick-off party, featuring community demos of projects built with open models, followed by a dance party with DJs celebrating the freedom and decentralization of AI development. The night will showcase what happens when the community takes control of their tech stack, with opportunities to demo your work and connect with fellow builders pushing the open AI movement forward.
