The host has not named speakers yet. Most people come for the conversations after the program.
A one-day summit for the groups building open-source AI models, at the Francis Crick Institute by King's Cross. Talks and panels from researchers and leaders of open-model initiatives cover recent breakthroughs in model development and science, and how open models can compete with the big proprietary systems.
The question on the agenda: how to keep cutting-edge AI open to researchers, businesses and the public rather than concentrated in a few companies. Organisers SOFAIR Lab are pitching it at researchers, policymakers, industry and philanthropists, with partnerships and funding as the stated goal. Supported by Jump Trading. Speakers aren't named on the registration page yet.
Free, 09:00 to 17:00, limited tickets.
Why go: a full day with the open-model community in one building, plus the funders they're trying to win over. Best for researchers and founders building on open weights, and anyone working on AI policy.
