Open-source technologies have great potential to help government increase productivity, support decision-making, and deliver better public services. These fellowships will offer an innovative way to match AI experts with the real world challenges our public services are facing.

Chinese firms like RedNote are deploying open-source LLMs not just as models but as instruments of ecosystem control and geopolitical leverage. Meanwhile, Western firms remain committed to proprietary architectures.

Countries must ensure they are not impeding open source platforms, as Yann LeCun advocates for collaborative international regulation of open-source AI.

The study indicates that two-thirds of organizations believe that open source AI is cheaper to deploy than proprietary models, highlighting its cost-effectiveness.

We've always been believers in open-source prevailing because of the flywheel, because of everybody building on top of each other, because of the fact that it just makes things more efficient.

I think what caught people's attention with DeepSeek was that you could have an efficient model and open-source and something everyone can immediately access, and I think that creates a lot of excitement.

The maturity of AI remains a debated topic, with skepticism about LLMs utility beyond chatbots and concerns about AGI risk.

Aggarwal said, 'By open sourcing our models, we hope the entire Indian AI community collaborates to create a world-class Indian AI ecosystem.'
