Generative AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), is rapidly becoming key to enterprise and cross-industry applications. LLMs have versatile applications including:

  • Text generation
  • Natural language understanding
  • Conversational dialog, code generation
  • Emerging multi-modal capabilities

The LF AI & Data Generative AI Commons is committed to promoting the democratization, advancement, and adoption of efficient, secure, reliable, and ethical Generative AI open source innovations.

Through neutral governance, open and transparent collaboration, and education, the Generative AI Commons fosters open source and open-science principles. This initiative aims to create a neutral and inclusive community where organizations collaborate and contribute to developing enterprise-ready platforms, effectively filling a critical gap in the generative AI landscape.
