Why open source AI models?

Posted by TIJ on Monday January 20, 2025 @10:50PM
from the self-post dept.

Why are big tech companies open sourcing AI models. What do they hope to gain? Unlike in case of Linux and Linux foundation, these corporations are for profit and it takes an unusually large sums of money to train these models?

Re:AWS Lambda Golang: Image manipulation on lambda using Golang on Tuesday October 08, 2019 @02:23PM (#21195350)
This sounds interesting. I think trying to do something like cloudinary would be difficult since they are also using multiple replications across regions which won't be possible in your case as you will be storing the images in s3 and buckets will be region-specific what do you think about that?

Also, I would suggest don't keep it platform(Lambda) specific. With the rise of other platforms like Azure and GCP devs would want to deploy this on other platforms as well. Thoughts?

Presenting Aviacommerce(https://www.aviacommerce.org/) and open source e-commerce framework written entirely in Elixir(https://elixir-lang.org/).

Github: https://github.com/aviacommerce/avia

We are in the early stages of the development I would say. With the core engine mostly complete we think the framework is at a stage where developers can start to experiment with it.

Why did we work on it? Well, there are many open source options available but like everyone else, we think we can do a better job at it.

The docs are also at an early stage but enough to get started and have a system up and running in production.

Do leave your feedback on how can we make it better.

Thanks, Aviacommerce Team

Re:Ask HN: Any good ressources to learn Angular? on Sunday March 26, 2017 @06:58AM (#13960135)
While there are many good places to start, I would recommend you start with creating Heroes application on the official doc. Believe me, there is no other detailed explanation for an application. Link(https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/tutorial/)

After you have completed that. I would recommend you checking out some open source applications out there. 1. AngularSpree(E-Commerce application) https://github.com/aviabird/angularspree 2. Yatrum(Travel application) https://github.com/aviabird/yatrum 3. Echoes(Music player) https://github.com/orizens/echoes-ng2
