#openmodels — Public Fediverse posts

I've been working hard on a project for the past few weeks. I've made a custom version of Qwen 35B-A3B that is small enough to be run on just a 4GB GPU but still gives you high quality output.

People are abusing AI and it's overhyped sure, but the tech does have some value. And with a local AI you are in control, no one's logging your chats. No need for a massive data center. Everyone deserves access

🚀💻 WOW, someone discovered open models in 2026 and it's like they invented fire! 🌍💡 Apparently, owning your own tech feels great, who knew? What's next, realizing water is wet? 🤦‍♂️

#OpenModels and #OpenWeights Are Foundational to Secure #AI
The #LinuxFoundation is joining NVIDIA and other founding members of the #OpenSecureAIAlliance to encourage open tools for securing AI systems. NVIDIA is providing for general use NOOA, opensource framework that makes AI agents easier to test, trace, audit, and govern. Alliance aims to make open models, weights, and agent harnesses safer to build and deploy—while giving defenders greater visibility and control.

Everyone's paying per token to run AI. This desktop agent doesn't.

LM Studio's new Bionic runs open models — GLM 5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code — right on your own machine. No API keys. No usage limits. Zero data retention.

Cloud when you need it. But local is the default.

The API bill was never the cost of doing AI. It was a choice.

Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter model with 1M context window, via API today. Full model weights arrive July 27. Vendor benchmarks suggest competitiveness with proprietary peers, though early testers report slower reasoning. What changes when weights become public? https://www.implicator.ai/moonshot-launches-kimi-k3-with-2-8-trillion-parameters-and-1m-context/ #AI #LLMs #OpenModels

🎉 Ah, the grand #quest of J-space! 🤓 The author bravely wades through a swamp of "open models" with a flashlight, hoping to discover some earth-shattering revelation, only to end up drowning in a sea of numbers and charts that even the models themselves would find confusing. But hey, at least it's interactive! 📈✨

While attention has been on #frontierAImodels, developers are increasingly using #openweight models, particularly from Chinese firms, for #productionAI. This shift is driven by #cost considerations and the desire for #customisation and #control over #AI capabilities. The rise of #openmodels raises questions about the future relevance of #frontiermodels and the potential risks associated with widespread access to powerful AI systems. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/14/the-real-ai-race-may-no-longer-be-at-the-frontier-open-models-hugging-face/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

“What [ #Palantir is] saying against closed-source AI (basically a broadside attack on OpenAI and Anthropic), is again highly self-serving. Palantir's sudden love of open-weight AI models conveniently coincides with them launching 2 days before a partnership with #Nvidia to sell exactly that: #openmodels (NVIDIA's Nemotron) in sovereign environments.

So it's essentially a product launch.”
