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!

⚖️ Three motions. Six debaters. Here’s how the audience voted at Open Weight Debates.
Last night at @github HQ, the debate covered AI safety, democratization, and the race to 2030.
1️⃣ Would the risks of frontier open models outweigh their benefits?
64% against · 36% for
2️⃣ Does democratizing AI require affordable intelligence, without requiring public access to model weights?
72% against · 28% for
3️⃣ Will closed models maintain an overall performance advantage over open-weight models through 2030?
65% against · 35% for
The audience voted against all three motions—backing the case for open weights across the board.
Thank you to all six debaters and everyone who joined the conversation! @m_bourgon @cheryltamcheng @DavidRBellamy @istoica05 @percyliang @opensauceAI @matthew_d_white
