It’s worth noting that several examples of existing “truly” Open Source AI models have already been mentioned including StarCoder2 based on [The Stack v2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-v2) cited [here](https://discuss.opensource.org/t/draft-v-0-0-7-of-the-open-source-ai-definition-is-available-for-comments/298/8) and the [Open Language Model (OLMo)](https://allenai.org/olmo) based on [AI2 Dolma](https://blog.allenai.org/dolma-3-trillion-tokens-open-llm-corpus-9a0ff4b8da64) cited [here](https://discuss.opensource.org/t/training-data-access/152/8), so [arguing](https://discuss.opensource.org/t/draft-v-0-0-7-of-the-open-source-ai-definition-is-available-for-comments/298/3) that no models will meet the standard is not only not relevant — we need to set the litmus test based on existing requirements like “preferred form” rather than convenience — but not valid. In any case, it’s all the more reason to encourage the development of new Open Source AI models rather than accepting the clearly inadequate status quo.

Also note that the existence of these models satisfies the (questionable) [board requirement](https://opensource.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/osi_townhall_15.pdf) that the OSAID “Provides real-life examples: The definition must include relevant examples of AI systems that comply with it at the time of approval, so cannot have an empty set.”
