The impact of open source ecosystem in the realm of AI is becoming visible and the momentum is set to accelerate, CEO has said as the IBM-owned enterprise open source solutions provider outlined its strategy and push on AI. At his keynote address at the Red Hat Summit, Hicks predicted that (AI) won’t be built by a single vendor, rather it will be defined by flexibility of choices. He observed that has moved at a fast clip, with advancements unfolding every month, week and hour. Open source and academia are at the centre of innovation, he asserted. According to him, the staggering rate and pace of academic advancement has found the „perfect intersection“ in Open Source and AI models. Today, the capabilities in AI are being developed by some of the best academic researchers, with Open Source helping unlock potential, he pointed out. „The most interesting thing that happened to AI over last year has been explosion of choices, what used to be only achievable in trillion perimetre models is being now being replicated in models orders of magnitude smaller… capabilities that just a year ago were coupled to high end, fairly-exotic hardware can now run on a laptop,“ he said.
