What does AI look like when it's allowed to grow in the open? 🌿

we’re building a timeline of open source AI on the walls of the Open Source House at #MozFest, and we want to include your story. add yourself to the history of open source.👇
We’re drawing the history of open source AI, and you deserve to be a part of it!
This year at MozFest, we're inviting everyone to share their open source story on the walls of the Open Source House. If you're attending MozFest, stop by and add yourself to the history of open source. #MozFest

The internet you remember is still out there. The early days of the internet may be behind us, but the spirit doesn’t have to be. Experience it for yourself. blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/…
can’t make it to Barcelona for MozFest this year? we’ll bring it to you.
i’ll be joining @jordimash, and @fabriciocarraro for the next ONR livestream on oct 27 at 18:20 CET. we’re digging into the first-ever developers track where founders, principal engineers, safety leads, standards folks will be coming together.
and you get to ask the questions. we’ll have a live audience Q&A. streamyard.com/watch/qiaCyVe…
i'm excited for this conversation. see you nov 4.

If every company rents the same frontier model, who gets the compound interest on the AI? For #OpenSourceAIWeek , @raffi (CTO, @mozilla) and @Koukoumidis (CEO, @oumi_ai) tackled that in AI Masterminds.
The questions they tackled:
• What happens when your provider changes pricing or access?
• Cost per token, or cost per completed task?
• Is the model the product, or the harness around it?
What they agreed on: the goal isn’t to pick one model forever. Keep your options open. Start with one critical workload. Evaluate it. Test alternatives. Write a runbook. Then decide where an open or specialized model wins.
Reply to your own thread (link goes here, not in the opening post):

On Nov 4, we’ll show how to build agents and train the models behind them, and you keep ownership of both. Register: oumi.ai/events/fall26

Something’s coming to #MozFest. And you don’t even need a plane ticket to participate.
Introducing MozFest's Developers Wilding Online Hackathon! Full details will be announced during the next ONR livestream Thursday, October 22 at 9am ET with @Marcus_Rein_ and Alejandro Gonzalez from @MozillaAI.
Join us: streamyard.com/watch/AXFKci6…
this is just a slice of a much longer conversation. the full version goes further: youtube.com/watch?v=eaUCbH0m…
Open source models are rapidly narrowing the gap between closed ones and the concerns are real. At the same time, people are building ethical, human-first efforts. It all comes down to how AI is built, audited and used.
This is just one of the conversations from the latest Owners Not Renters livestream featuring Alejandro Gonzalez and Thomas Bille, and Brian Mbuba. Watch the replay and stay tuned for more information about our next live show.
open models are free to download and you can take them anywhere. so the meter moved to the things you can’t take with you when you leave: the cache, your memory, and the gateway.
when one company owns the router and the payment rail, it knows exactly how much it would cost you to leave. run a router you control. route on cost. keep a second model warm. stateofopensource.ai

Per-token price is the wrong way to compare AI models for agentic work.
Kimi K3 lists at $15 per million output tokens. On the Artificial Analysis Index it spends 130M output tokens against a 63M median, so on the same suite at the same list rate it bills like $31/M.
The problem with ranking by per-token price is that it hides a 2x spread in what a task actually costs.
