Finally got to put together a complete deck on the state of open models.
What they are, licenses, how competitive they are, signs people are using them, distillation's impact, and how we balance the risks and benefits of openness!
Will record a video lecture of these soon, and hopefully re-do them a few times a year.
Sustaining open infrastructure is a shared responsibility. 🤝
Library consortia are pooling funds, simplifying admin, and providing steady support for open science

👀 Tomorrow: why funding one infrastructure strengthens dozens of others.

One of the 5 strands at the #AIS26 is #openscience
Because as @hilaryhanahoe SG @resdatall stresses out AI puts OS at a test
📌 For AI, FAIR principles are no longer a good practice but a requirement.
📌 OS in the AI era is no longer a technological question but a political one
Is Open Science worth the investment? Who pays to keep it open?
For #OpenAccessWeek2026 and its theme, The Cost of Knowledge, join us to explore the costs, economic benefits and sustainable funding models for Open Science infrastructures, including the future of EOSC.

📢 TCC Africa joins AREN’s Level 3 Local Network Leads Training! Joy Owango and Nicole Mulaku will share our Open Science journey and how stakeholder engagement, advocacy and partnerships can strengthen Africa’s research ecosystem. #OpenScience
We turned @OpenAI's math problems into open-source RL environments on @huggingface!
Early and rough (the verifier only accepts the exact original formalization, so an equivalent proof can still score 0), but this is what it looks like when a research release becomes executable training infrastructure for everyone.
This is an exciting direction imo: turning open research into open executable environments that anyone can build on to train better open models!

"Scholarly knowledge is a sovereign global public good and a human right. Scholarly communication must be owned, governed, and sustained by the research communities that create and depend on it, protected from commercial enclosure and vendor lock-in."

MapMyCells is one of our most popular #OpenScience tools and for good reason!
Scientists anywhere can discover what cell types their transcriptomics and spatial data corresponds with by comparing their data to massive, high-quality reference datasets.

OpenAIRE and Free Knowledge Africa have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen the visibility and discoverability of African research and connect research sources to wider Open Science infrastructures.
What will this mean in practice?
🔹Better-connected research
🔹Skills that make a difference
🔹Knowledge Exchange
