3. What is Closed-Source AI?
Closed-source Al refers to Al systems where the model's weights and training process are proprietary and users can usually only access them through APis, web apps, or enterprise platforms.
4. What is Open Source AI?
Open source Al refers to Al systems where some or all of the core components are publicly available. This involves things like:
- Model architecture
- Model weights
- Training data
- Inference data
- Licenses for use, modification, and redistribution with conditions.
5. List some of Open-Source Models/Frameworks/Products.
| Category | Open Source Models/Frameworks/Products |
|---|---|
| LLMs (Text & Reasoning) |
DeepSeek: Efficiency leader using MoE architecture to match frontier performance at lower cost (MIT License). Qwen: Dominant in math, logic, and coding tasks with strong instruction-following (Apache 2.0). Llama: Knowledge giant with the deepest world understanding; best for synthetic data generation (Custom License). |
| Coding Assistants |
Qwen-Coder: Best local coding model optimized for refactoring and code completion. DeepSeek: Excellent at system design and codebase architecture explanation. Minimax: Handles massive codebases with ultra-long context windows (1M+ tokens). |
| Multimodality (Vision, Image, Video, Audio) |
Flux: Top image generation model with superior text rendering and spatial prompt adherence. Qwen-VL: Leading vision model for GUI automation and document understanding. HunyuanVideo: State-of-the-art video generation with cinematic quality and motion consistency. Kokoro: Lightweight, natural-sounding text-to-speech running on resource-constrained devices. |
| Building Agents/Products |
PydanticAI: Clean Python-first framework using type hints for structured agent building. LangGraph: Best for complex workflows with loops, memory, and human-in-the-loop control. MetaGPT: Simulates software teams to generate full projects from natural language prompts. |
