A day and a half out from the launch of ATOM, one thing is very clear about open models compared to years past: it's no longer a minority position. Below is a list of notable signatories. People from every corner of the AI community have signed on. People who would be labelled as a "doomer" and others who are "accelerationists." There are leading academics, government employees, researchers at leading labs, engineers, venture capitalists, and everything in between. Now starts a long process of making this real. OpenAI has done a good thing in making it easier for leadership across the field to approve open model releases, but this doesn't solve the need for ATOM. It reinforces that this is a community change that is not fixable by open organization or one advocate. Let's keep pushing. Here are the prominent signatories. I'll be putting out another update with all the thank you's for who made this happen soon too.
