The Real Open AI

May I have your attention please?

Will the real Open AI please stand up?

I repeat, will the real Open AI please stand up?

We're gonna have a problem here

-

Y'all act like you never seen Open Source before

Jaws all on the floor. Code and data behind closed doors

Trying to claim you’re open, or worse, open core

Pushing proprietary, acting like you're hardcore

It's the same old game, different name, it's such a bore

But we need the real deal, not just some faux encore

-

So, will the real Open AI please stand up?

Please stand up, please stand up

'Cause we're tired of the fakes, we've had enough

Just wanna see real Open Source AI, no bluff

-

Now, who's pretending they're Open AI just for clout?

Saying they're transparent, but their code's all locked out

Hiding behind fancy branding, but there's no real route

To freedom and collaboration, it's all about cashing out

We need code and data out in the open, no doubt

Not some closed mom’s spaghetti prone to segment fault

-

So, will the real Open AI please stand up?

Please stand up, please stand up

'Cause we're tired of the fakes, we've had enough

Just wanna see real Open Source AI, no bluff

-

If you're claiming to be Open AI, don't lie

Release your code, let the community fly

We're here for innovation, not to be denied

Step aside if you're just faux Open AI

-

So, will the real Open AI please stand up?

Please stand up, please stand up

'Cause we're tired of the fakes, we've had enough

Just wanna see real Open Source AI, no bluff

-

To all Open AIs claiming to be real, hoarding GPUs

Prove it with code and data, show us what you can do

Until then, our LLMs’ next cipher just shine through

And with each beat, each layer, we keep building what's true.

Note: the Open Source Initiative is driving a multi-stakeholder process to define an “Open Source AI” and we would like to invite everyone to be part of the conversation: https://opensource.org/deepdive
