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!
