One of my absolute most favorite open source project is called SerenityOS which is a love letter to 90's UI with a custom Unix-like core. Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late 90's productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late 2000s.

I love the project mostly because of the main maintainer called Andrew Klang who is an incredible engineer and a recovering addict. His life story is really inspiring. Which got me hooked up on his story and connection to SerenityOS and LadyBird browser.

The Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project scales speech technology to 1,100-4,000 languages using self-supervised learning with wav2vec 2.0.

Compared to OpenAI Whisper, the multilingual ASR model supports 11x more languages but has less than half the average error rate on 54 languages of FLEURS. The model is also trained on a fraction of the labeled data (45K vs. 680K hours).

Ladybird, the new open source browser project just got sponsored by an anonymous crypto donor. 🔥

Congrats to Andreas. 🎉

Imagine a therapy project turning into one of the biggest open source projects where thousands of people are working on from all around the world and funding is flowing in from everywhere. 🤯 So wholesome 🥰

Here're epic resources for creating, managing and maintaining Open Source Projects.

1. Open Source Guide
• This's a very extensive and detailed guide into everything you need to know about OSS. It's got resources, tools, explanations, templates, checklists and so much more! And it's open source so you can expand on it
• https://opensource.guide

2. Choose a License
• This simple site helps you choose a license for your projects, and it can create a PR automatically, by simply giving it your repo link
• https://choosealicense.com

3. ReadMe Template
• This's a pretty nice ReadMe template that covers the basics of setting your software app on the client side
• https://gist.github.com/PurpleBooth/109311bb0361f32d87a2

4. Contributor Covenant
• This template is a very generic but very good to use code of conduct to make the project a nice place for contributors to work in.

There's a new open-source browser based on FireFox in town.

Zen Browser
• zen-browser.app

It is very simple and beautiful. Give it a try, you might like it.

Intellect 1 is the first decentralized training run of a 10-billion-parameter model, inviting anyone to contribute compute.
• app.primeintellect.ai

Everything will be open sourced; the training framework and dataset.

AI Model specs:
• 10B parameters, 6T+ tokens dataset
• Llama Architecture and tokenizer
• Dataset mix: Fineweb-edu, DLCM, Stack v2, OpenWebMath

The goal is to create the most powerful open source AI model. This excites me so much. Not to mention you can train your own models and it's so cheap.
