Open Source AI Week is a wrap—and what a week. 11,000+ people came through the week’s events. A record 66 events on the calendar. More than 200 organizations involved. The community showed up: 🎉 The Kick Off Party, hosted by @huggingface, brought together 1,800 people to celebrate open models and the people building them. An incredible start to the week. 🎙️ The Open Weight Debates at @github delivered three lively debates about AI’s future. Over 1,000 people registered, the room hit capacity, and people were lined up outside hoping to get in. 🛠️ The ExecuTorch Hackathon with @qualcomm and @metaai. brought together 200 participants across 35 teams, building across Compute, Mobile + XR, and IoT. Congratulations to the teams behind the track winners: • Compute: MotionVitals AI • Mobile + XR: Second-Ear • IoT: Venturo Home Mobility From mobility measurement to phone-scam detection and accessible home automation, the builders showed what on-device AI can make possible. 🏆 The Open Source AI Awards filled the room at @fdotinc. Ten awards recognized projects and people making a difference—and someone went home with a new Mac mini for their agents! Congratulations to: @vllm_project @harborframework NeMo Guardrails (@NVIDIAAI) ExploitGym Hermes Agent (@NousResearch) Arize Phoenix (@arizeai) @danielhanchen @QGallouedec @rasbt @thedotmack for Claude Mem, now CMEM 🍽️ The Attention Is All You Eat dinner brought the community together around the table, keeping the conversations going beyond the stage.
