When I joined
@nvidia three years ago to help work on open source and standards (and specifically help form
@allianceopenusd), it appeared from the outside that we didn't have the best open source reputation.
What I found was an organization that actually 'got' open source, and has steadily increased its contributions to the community, as all companies do for the reason of 'enlightened self-interest.' TLDR; when the community does well, we do well.
I'm incredibly excited and proud that our contributions in open source for AI are being recognized, and that I get to work with
@NaderLikeLadder and many others at NVIDIA to continue to push our open source strategy forward!

There is no AI progress without open source.
Image gen was introduced in closed models, but Stable Diffusion is what kicked off the AI race.
Reasoning was also introduced in closed models, but Deepseek kicked off the agentic frenzy.
Open source makes both closed and open source models better, lifts the whole ecosystem.
Love to see the growth in OSS contributions from NVIDIA.
