Her words were a reminder that open source AI can only thrive through collaboration — and that building a global community around these principles is how we ensure technology serves the public interest, not the other way around.

There's tried and true ways for how OSS applies to software, but that doesn't fit squarely with the realities of AI development.

That's why I'm grateful OpenAI is trying something new with @roost.tools, openly releasing weights with a commitment to work with the ROOST Model Community to iterate
