AI organization LAION and leading AI developers suggest that the EU encourage the use of open source AI models. Open source AI models offer greater safety, accountability, replicability, and robustness. LAION has launched the PyTorch codebase OpenLM for training medium-sized language models. The OpenLM model outperforms similar open source models. LAION urges EU regulatory efforts to promote the application of open source AI models.

The EU plans to open supercomputer resources to AI startups to broaden the use of supercomputers. Startups need to join the EU's AI governance program to gain access. The EU hopes to encourage responsible AI innovation, but the effectiveness of this initiative remains to be seen.
