AI Alliance: Open Science Community Harnessing the Power of Open-Source AI
The open science community is increasingly using open source AI to accelerate discovery and innovation across disciplines, with collaboration at its core. At Meta’s first Open Source AI Summit for Advancing Scientific Discovery, scientists and researchers showcased breakthroughs made possible by open models like Llama and FAIR. Examples include UT Health’s use of MedSAM for cancer detection and AIChat for secure personalized research, Mayo Clinic’s RadOnc-GPT for radiation oncology, and national labs leveraging massive compute resources for molecular and materials discovery through the OMol25 project. These efforts highlight how openly shared AI tools are transforming medicine, chemistry, and beyond, reinforcing the importance of continued collaboration through initiatives like the AI Alliance.
