@Mustard5 @gmkurtzer Yep, gonna need all the help we can get! Welcome!
@sebastiansohn @gmkurtzer Join us, and know the true power of the source!
Open source AI is so important for the future of technology, come and join the first truly open source AI community project, @OpenWALDO! openwaldo.org
Open source powers the worlds infrastructure because it brings everybody up together through collaboration and transparency and openness. Now we have the first open source community for AI tooling and data with @OpenWALDO. Come and join the community! openwaldo.org
Thanks @Itsfoss for helping to get the word out about @OpenWALDO ! Everyone, come and join the open source AI community!
The man who built CentOS and Rocky Linux is now trying to do for AI what open source did for operating systems. Gregory Kurtzer just launched OpenWALDO, a transparent AI training dataset containing 167 billion tokens sourced from government records, academic papers, mailing
Anybody can build an AI model from scratch now!
This is SUPER exciting! I just got through a pretty big milestone for OpenWALDO training a conversational model. Here is an example training, that ran for approximately 2 days, single GPU (H200), and with a single waldo command... $ ./waldo model train
If a model can generate watermarks that are imperceptible, it can also embed back doors in code. Open source is the answer to trust and why OpenWALDO exists. Come join the community: openwaldo.org
"OpenWALDO aims to blow the doors off proprietary AI training models" -- The Register While, that isn't the goal of OpenWALDO, we are looking for community members to help grow and maintain the corpus of training data for AI models! theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026…
@TheAIShrink @gmkurtzer @kimmonismus What are you referring to that is MIT licensed? The tooling for OpenWALDO is Apache2 and the corpus has its own many licenses.
Open source AI means all the AI source is open. This is the first open source community developed around the sources of AI, the data! Come join in the community and learn to build an AI model from scratch, fine tune, or maintaining the corpus of source material. openwaldo.org
There has been a ton of press around @OpenWALDO. What I love about this article is that the author did a really great job framing the project. It's open source AI, come join the project! briefglance.com/articles/kurtz…
Building an AI model is super easy thanks to tooling that pulls from open source AI data, and creates and/or fine tunes a model from scratch! Come join us and learn how to make your own AI!
If you want to learn how to build an AI model from scratch, you really should check out @OpenWALDO, the first open source AI community for builders. openwaldo.org Creating a model is as easy as a single command like: $ waldo model train [name] ./composes/basic.yaml
This is one of the most exciting things I've been a part of in my career! Open Source AI is here!
Did you see the announcement of the first Open Source AI community project for training data to create open source models?! techstrong.ai/articles/rocky…

AI is not open source without the source. @OpenWALDO: an exciting project by open source legend @gmkurtzer, sponsored by the world-class team at @CtrlIQ. open Weights, Artifacts, Licenses, Data, Origins. Join the OpenWALDO AI community. openwaldo.org
We've got some new members in our open source Slack community! Come talk about building AI models at: openwaldo.org/community.html
Did you see the announcement of the first Open Source AI community project for training data to create open source models?! techstrong.ai/articles/rocky…

Community-led, truly open source AI hasn’t had a shared foundation. Until now. Join OpenWALDO to learn, build and train models, leverage a community-built public corpus with clear provenance and license assertions, or contribute data for everyone. openwaldo.org
