Over a decade later, Ai2 may not be as well-known as OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, but it is still pursuing "high-impact" AI, as envisioned by Mr Allen, who passed away in 2018.
Unlike OpenAI, Ai2 claims to be developing "truly open" AI systems for others to build upon.
Ai2's latest AI model, Tulu 3 405B, rivals those of OpenAI and China's DeepSeek in several benchmarks.
The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (Ai2) aimed to advance AI for humanity's benefit.
While open weights models like those from Meta are beneficial because people can simply take those weights and proceed, they don't qualify as open source.
