Fantastic and important work by the leadership teams at @linuxfoundation & @NVIDIAAI to take a first critical step toward a more open AI model ecosystem. #openAI
We're adopting the Linux Foundation’s OpenMDW framework across our open model families.
This helps make open model licensing simpler and more consistent at scale.
A single legal framework across models, code, documentation, and data helps reduce friction for developers and enterprises building with open source.

🎉 We’re excited to partner with @MistralAI on the Mistral 3 family of models, giving researchers and developers access to true frontier-class tech — including 10X better generational performance for Mistral Large 3 mixture-of-experts model.
Huge congrats to the Mistral AI team — thrilled to push open-source innovation forward together.
What do the world’s most intelligent open-source AI models have in common? 🧠
They all use a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture.
Learn why NVIDIA Blackwell NVL72 is the only rack-scale system capable of delivering a 10x inference performance leap across a broad range of MoEs today, including Kimi K2 Thinking, DeepSeek-R1, and Mistral Large 3.
The next era of engineering and design is being built on accelerated computing, agentic AI and digital twins.
Together, @Synopsys and NVIDIA are racing to accelerate every industry and reinvent engineering by integrating the strengths of NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and AI with Synopsys’ market-leading engineering solutions to transform industries from semiconductors and automotive to aerospace and healthcare.

When I joined @nvidia three years ago to help work on open source and standards (and specifically help form @allianceopenusd), it appeared from the outside that we didn't have the best open source reputation.
What I found was an organization that actually 'got' open source, and has steadily increased its contributions to the community, as all companies do for the reason of 'enlightened self-interest.' TLDR; when the community does well, we do well.
I'm incredibly excited and proud that our contributions in open source for AI are being recognized, and that I get to work with @NaderLikeLadder and many others at NVIDIA to continue to push our open source strategy forward!
#opensourceAI
There is no AI progress without open source.
Image gen was introduced in closed models, but Stable Diffusion is what kicked off the AI race.
Reasoning was also introduced in closed models, but Deepseek kicked off the agentic frenzy.
Open source makes both closed and open source models better, lifts the whole ecosystem.
Love to see the growth in OSS contributions from NVIDIA.
We owe a big thank you to the #AllThingsOpen community! Thank you to our attendees, volunteers, speakers, sponsors, and everyone who make this community the most welcoming group of friends! Thank you for making this year the best one yet and we can't wait to be with you again!
Today's the day! Doors open at 9 am for Day 1 of #AllThingsOpen! Community Leadership Summit and @GitHub's Open Source Accessibility Summit start at 10 am and Inclusion and Diversity in Open Source begins at 1 pm. Have your QR codes from your tickets ready for a quick check-in!
#AllThingsOpen Day 2 kicks off in 15 minutes with the opening keynotes! Start heading upstairs to the Ballrooms on the 4th floor so you don't miss out!
Watching @toddlew kick off year 13(!!) of #AllThingsOpen! Unbelievable to see what Todd and his volunteers have built and nurtured with the Triangle dev community!
