OpenBytes aims to facilitate wider sharing of, and collaboration with, data in the AI community through the promotion of data standards and formats and enabling contributions of data. The value of this project lies in its stimulus on academic interest and AI innovation by promoting high-quality datasets and pushing the boundaries of science further. It joined LF AI & Data as an Incubation-level project and moved to archival status per a TAC vote and a Governing Board vote in May 2025.
