Open Model
A model release format in which model weights are publicly available for download and use, but which does not necessarily include complete training code, training data, or compliance with a strict open-source license. This distinguishes open models from fully open-source models in the strict sense of the term.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Open models in the physical AI field allow small and medium-sized research teams and startups to fine-tune based on existing weights and architectures without having to build foundation models from scratch.
Physical AI is far more fragmented than language, and there may not be a few unified foundation models; instead, several open models for specific domains will coexist.
In heavily regulated fields such as healthcare and finance, open models plus controlled runtimes are becoming a more realistic choice than purely closed-source APIs.
In industries with strict compliance requirements such as finance and healthcare, certain data is legally prohibited from being transmitted to third-party servers, making locally deployable open models the only viable option.
A growing number of AI teams are shifting toward open models for development.
