Today: I’m joining @ilblackdragon (Illia Polosukhin) at Open Source AI Summit SF for a fireside chat on open models’ benefits and risks. Also speaking: @NorvigPeter and @JeanKossaifi (Nvidia). Kickoff: 2:30 PM PT | Our chat: 2:40 PM PT Come by, say hi and enjoy the event! #OpenSourceAIWeek# #OpenIntelligence#

Hugging Face’s kickoff last night was absolute FIRE 🔥 A giant mega duck. DJs. Food, drinks, and music. Great conversations everywhere—catching up with familiar faces and making new connections. What a night. 🦆 Huge props to @jeffboudier and the @huggingface team for putting together such a stellar event! we missed you @ClementDelangue. Today, the ExecuTorch Hackathon is in full swing at Founders, Inc., with teams building across three tracks: 💻 Compute — on-device AI on Snapdragon X Elite-powered Copilot+ PCs 📱 Mobile + XR — AI experiences on Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy XR 🛠️ IoT — edge AI, sensing, and control on Arduino VENTUNO Q boards From the dance floor to building on real hardware. Open Source AI Week is starting with a real bang—and we’re only getting started. 🚀 Hackathon details: Thanks to hackathon sponsors: @AIatMeta @Qualcomm @github @open_intel_fdn @fdotinc @hackersquadio @PyTorch #OpenSourceAIWeek# #OpenIntelligence#

Open Source AI Week started with a handful of events and a community bringing people together. Now in its third year, we have 65 events on the calendar—and we kick off tomorrow! Explore the lineup: Four highlights: 🎉 Tomorrow, Oct 16: Official Kickoff Party, hosted by Hugging Face 🛠️ Saturday–Sunday, Oct 17–18: ExecuTorch Hackathon 🎙️ Monday night, Oct 19: Open Weight Debates 🏆 Next Friday, Oct 23: Open Source AI Awards Night, capping off the week The Open Intelligence Foundation (@open_intel_fdn) is proud to be this year’s organizer, alongside a dedicated volunteer team and 32 backing organizations. Our commitment: • Official events will always be free and community-run. • We’ll work to bring the community together to plan diverse, high-value events at no cost, accessible to everyone. • We will never decline an event because it overlaps with one of ours. That goes against the spirit of open source and community. A shared calendar should create more opportunities to participate, collaborate, and learn. I’m proud to have been involved this year and grateful to everyone who made it happen. Thank you to our sponsors: @GoogleDeepMind, @Azure, @arcee_ai, @SemiAnalysis_, and @NEARProtocol Foundation. And our event hosts: @github, @fdotinc, @hackersquadio, @OSS4AI, @Qualcomm, @AIatMeta, @huggingface , @allen_ai, @MiniMax_AI, @UnslothAI, @PrimeIntellect, @NousResearch, @openclaw Foundation, @vllm_project, @lmsysorg, @inferact, @radixark and @anyscalecompute.

Enjoyed speaking with @sophiadew on @MTSlive this afternoon about the misguided legislation being proposed that would ultimately hurt the open source AI ecosystem with major implications for the economy, education, productivity and American leadership. Intelligence will eventually become critical infrastructure and ensuring fair, affordable and reliable intelligence requires that there be choices for consumers and that also requires being open and decentralized.

I’ll be at The Curve in Berkeley this weekend. If you’re going too, DM me. Would be great to connect at the conference and talk about anything from AI policy and AI safety research to protecting the open frontier. Hope to see some of you there. #TheCurve# #AIPolicy# #OpenSourceAI#

Agent performance can look great in training. Then it meets the real world. Coming to Open Source AI Week: Training Agents IRL, hosted by @github and @huggingface. We’re going beyond single-turn RL to explore how agents learn and act across multi-step environments: 🎯 Reward design 🔁 Rollouts and environment-driven training 📊 Benchmarks and evaluation 🌍 The gap between training gains and real-world behavior Hear short talks from researchers and builders at Hugging Face, Microsoft, Mercor, Reflection, RadixArk, and Benchflow—followed by a panel on what works, where the bottlenecks are, and what the open-source ecosystem needs next. 📅 October 22, 2026 · 6–9 PM 📍 GitHub · San Francisco Request your spot → #OpenSourceAIWeek# #OpenIntelligence#

Open source AI deserves a party! 🤗 OPEN TOGETHER, the official kick off party hosted by @huggingface, gets the party started at Open Source AI Week 2026! 2,500+ attendees expected. Oct 16, 2026 • 6pm–midnight The Midway, SF Free. Register early:

Built a cool HF Space? Bring it to Open Together 🤗 Community demo applications are now open! Oct 16 · The Midway, SF Meet AI Builders. Try demos. Dance. Free registration ➡️ Apply by Oct 2 ➡️ #OpenTogether# #OpenSourceAIWeek#

Open Source AI Week is powered entirely by the community—and the events you host. From October 16–25, builders, researchers, and founders will come together across the Bay Area. Thank you for building the week with us 🤍 #OpenSourceAIWeek# #OSAIWeekCommunity#

Open source AI is the only path forward. The Open Source AI week calendar is live and accepting community events. If you are planning to host and event it’s best to get it into the calendar early so it appears on the website calendar and the official Open Source AI Week Luma calendar. It’s going to be an amazing week this year with a debate night and open source AI awards. #OpenSourceAIWeek# #OSAIWeekCommunity#
