The Imperative for Open Source Frontier AI – Oumi’s Platform & Strategy

Open source is the best path to developing the most advanced, trusted, and versatile AI; the AI that would unlock industry applications and truly empower the sciences.

Unfortunately, frontier AI has become increasingly closed giving rise to significant concerns and risks.

Oumi CEO, Dr. Manos Koukoumidis, will discuss the efforts that Oumi, alongside 20+ academics, recently started to put us on a better path by betting on and fostering open source frontier AI. Learn how Oumi empowers sciences, the industries and even AgTech hackathons!
