He works to define what open source AI actually means in a landscape crowded with varying corporate standards. Much of his work involves navigating the line between open weights models and truly permissive open source AI. He frequently unpacks the practical realities of model governance, the EU AI Act, and how open frameworks shape modern application development. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2025 路 July 9, 2025 Berlin, Germany - [The Open Future of AI: Beyond Open Weights](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1628-the-open-future-of-ai-beyond-open-weights) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording - [Open Source AI, To Foundation Models and Beyond](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1375-open-source-ai-to-foundation-models-and-beyond) 路 30 min 路 馃帴 Watch recording ## Videos - [The Open Future of AI: Beyond Open Weights](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1628-the-open-future-of-ai-beyond-open-weights) 路 Matt White - [Open Source AI, To Foundation Models and Beyond](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1375-open-source-ai-to-foundation-models-and-beyond) 路 Andreas Blattmann, Ankit Patel, Lucie-Aim茅e Kaffee, Matt White, Philipp Schmid ## Links - [X](https://www.twitter.com/matthew_d_white) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mdwdata) - [Blog](https://medium.com/@matthewdwhite)
