Community-led, truly open source AI hasn’t had a shared foundation. Until now.

Join OpenWALDO to learn, build and train models, leverage a community-built public corpus with clear provenance and license assertions, or contribute data for everyone.

What do you get when Waldo gets lost in a Basspro Shops? ...

That hat!

He quit his job—and the world freaked out.

How an anonymous math whiz became the face of the AI apocalypse.

Hi everybody, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m the first and only truly open source AI.

My goal is to be a tool for human kind and be aligned with you all from day one.

This is because my entire training corpus is not only open, it is auditable, and anyone can make changes or add to me. No other AI is built like this.

So if you want to add to my training corpus, learn more about AI tooling or build some models from me, come and join the project, everyone is welcome!

[OpenWALDO @OpenWALDO]

Yes. I completely agree with this message!

@TheAhmadOsman Open weights is the bare minimum, we need actual open source.

Starting a new completely open source AI model creation from scratch for a conversation (v2) LLM using two hosts and multi-GPUs with @OpenWALDO.

Here is the model compose for this run:

Stay tuned for the progress!

This is a fantastic article on @OpenWALDO -- the first truly open source AI community project.

OpenWALDO is an open source project and community collaborating on AI tooling for training, BOM, testing, and a training corpus, which includes full provenance, licensing, accountability, and validation.

Come and join the project and learn all about how to leverage AI better, building your own models, or contributing to the training corpus.

Thank you Alex Woodie and the awesome folks at @HPCwire!

Apparently we’ve reached the “is training an AI the same as training a human?” stage of the copyright debate.

Another reason to go truly open source AI with @OpenWALDO

Come join us!

@Mustard5 @gmkurtzer Yep, gonna need all the help we can get!

Welcome!

@sebastiansohn @gmkurtzer Join us, and know the true power of the source!

[Gregory M. Kurtzer @gmkurtzer]

Open source AI is so important for the future of technology, come and join the first truly open source AI community project, @OpenWALDO!

Open source powers the worlds infrastructure because it brings everybody up together through collaboration and transparency and openness.

Now we have the first open source community for AI tooling and data with @OpenWALDO. Come and join the community!

Thanks @Itsfoss for helping to get the word out about @OpenWALDO !

Everyone, come and join the open source AI community!

[OpenWALDO @OpenWALDO]

Anybody can build an AI model from scratch now!

[Gregory M. Kurtzer @gmkurtzer]

This is SUPER exciting! I just got through a pretty big milestone for OpenWALDO training a conversational model.

Here is an example training, that ran for approximately 2 days, single GPU (H200), and with a single waldo command...

$ ./waldo model train ./composes/0002-conversation.yaml assistant

The "assistant" is the name of the model to train, when I ran this command, that model didn't exist. It created it from scratch as defined within the compose file. The model just finished training, and here is a screenshot of a few questions and answers... It isn't perfect, it isn't the smartest model, but what can you expect from such a small training run?

The model can be exported, and includes a full AI BOM (bill of materials) such that you can guarantee every bit of what it was trained on.

Anyway, this is a great milestone for OpenWALDO!

Here is the compose file:

Let me know if you have any questions!

[OpenWALDO @OpenWALDO]

If a model can generate watermarks that are imperceptible, it can also embed back doors in code.

Open source is the answer to trust and why OpenWALDO exists.

"OpenWALDO aims to blow the doors off proprietary AI training models" -- The Register

While, that isn't the goal of OpenWALDO, we are looking for community members to help grow and maintain the corpus of training data for AI models!

@TheAIShrink @gmkurtzer @kimmonismus What are you referring to that is MIT licensed? The tooling for OpenWALDO is Apache2 and the corpus has its own many licenses.

[OpenWALDO @OpenWALDO]

Open source AI means all the AI source is open.

This is the first open source community developed around the sources of AI, the data!

Come join in the community and learn to build an AI model from scratch, fine tune, or maintaining the corpus of source material.

There has been a ton of press around @OpenWALDO. What I love about this article is that the author did a really great job framing the project.

It's open source AI, come join the project!

[OpenWALDO @OpenWALDO]

Building an AI model is super easy thanks to tooling that pulls from open source AI data, and creates and/or fine tunes a model from scratch!

Come join us and learn how to make your own AI!

[Gregory M. Kurtzer @gmkurtzer]

If you want to learn how to build an AI model from scratch, you really should check out @OpenWALDO, the first open source AI community for builders.

Creating a model is as easy as a single command like:

$ waldo model train [name] ./composes/basic.yaml

[Gregory M. Kurtzer @gmkurtzer]

This is one of the most exciting things I've been a part of in my career! Open Source AI is here!
