Elon Musk, the owner of the social network X, indicated that starting this Saturday, January 17, the platform’s new algorithm will be open source.

Musk posted on the platform: “We will be making X’s new algorithm, including all the code used to determine which organic and paid posts are recommended to users, open source in 7 days.”

He explained that the process will be repeated every four weeks, “with extensive developer notes to help you understand what has changed,” giving anyone the opportunity to learn how the system works.

It is important to note that the algorithm is one of the most powerful tools of X and other social networks, as it “determines the feed or flow of information that appears in each user’s account.”

Meta announced the launch of its new family of artificial intelligence models, called Llama 4, based on multimodal algorithms and capabilities comparable to those of OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash, and DeepSeek-V3.

The parent company of social media platforms Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp has stated that its new functionality is open source, although it has been criticized. The truth is that “these new algorithms stand out for being multimodal and having large-scale context windows, ranging from 1 million to 2 trillion tokens.”

The first model presented by Meta is Llama 4 Scout, described as “the world’s best multimodal model in its category and outperforms all previous generations of Llama.”

Its architecture integrates 17 billion active parameters, 10 million tokens, and a system based on a mixture of experts, “which integrates 16 submodels specialized in various tasks, topics, and multimedia formats that are activated based on user requests,” to outperform Gemma 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, and Mistral 3.1 in “deep data analysis, extensive code reviews, generation of complex summaries, and legal evaluation of large documents.”

Then there is Llama 4 Maverick, trained simultaneously with text, images, and video without the need for prior labeling. It incorporates 128 experts, allowing it to reach a total of 400 billion parameters, keeping 17 billion active per token to compete with DeepSeek V3 and surpass GPT-40, Gemini 2.0, and Claude 3 Opus in reasoning, coding, and understanding visual and textual content.

The first two AI models are followed by Llama 4 Behemoth, “the company’s most advanced model and one of the smartest large language models in the world.” It is in development and not publicly available; it has 288 billion active parameters and nearly 2 trillion in total. It is used to improve the quality of smaller systems through co-distillation techniques. Tests showed that Behemoth outperforms GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro in multiple assessments related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines.

It’s important to note that Llama 4 Maverick and Scout are now available for download on the official Meta website and the Hugging Face platform. They are expected to soon be integrated into major cloud infrastructures, edge computing solutions, and services offered by global integrators.

The European Union’s work on developing its own version of ChatGPT could become a reality in mid-2026. The project, open source and multilingual, has a budget of 37.4 million euros, financed with European funds.

The European Commission announced this initiative, called OpenEuroLLM, in which 20 organizations participate, including “universities and research centers, companies and computing centers.”

Although the project is expected to last three years, the first version of this European language model is expected to be ready by mid-2026 “and another at the end of the initiative’s lifespan, in 2028.”

Taking into account that it will be open source, it is understood that any person or company will be able to use the EU version of ChatGPT and run it for their own purposes.

“The data to train the model will be obtained from two firms that generate specific data collections to train artificial intelligence (AI), High Performance Language Technologies (HPLT) and CoommonCrawl. In addition, it is expected that other sources will be added and that the database will be enriched, especially to perfect the languages ​​in which the available resources are scarcer.”

OpenEuroLLM will be native in all European languages. “In addition, the intention of the European model is to be able to preserve the linguistics, nuances and diversity of each language.”

The German government has promoted a momentous change in the public sector, particularly in the technological field, by migrating from Windows and Office to Linux and FreeOffice.

Germany has decided to opt for free software solutions in its technological infrastructure. Other members of the European Union and China are considering following this route as well.

Regarding the measure in Germany, Dirk Schrödter, member of the Bundesrat, indicated that “around 30,000 public workers and their teams will change the software they use, which represents a massive adoption of open source software.”

The implementation of the change began in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, in the midst of the search for “greater security and avoiding exclusive dependence on Microsoft.”

The strategy in the European country has been called “digital sovereignty”, and its main objective is the protection of citizens’ data as well as preventing it from “falling into the hands of foreign corporations.”

OpenAI is developing an open source artificial intelligence model, according to reports. The company, known for its popular chatbot ChatGPT, decided to take this step in response to increasing competition from open source AI models, such as those launched by Meta in February, according to a source quoted in an article published in The Information on May 16.

Although an exact date for the release of the model has not been announced, it is speculated that OpenAI’s open source model will not be as competitive as its main product, ChatGPT. This is because OpenAI derives its value primarily by selling access to more advanced models.

In early May, a document written by Luke Sernau, a senior software engineer at Google, was leaked highlighting the threat that open source AI models posed to Google’s AI efforts.

According to Sernau, while Google was competing with OpenAI, open source AI models were advancing rapidly and significantly without attracting much attention.

The TikTok Live Studio tool, the computer program with which various content can be broadcast, could be illegally using Open Broadcasting Software (OBS Studio) code and not respecting the open source license terms.

As indicated through Twitter by the business developer of OBS Studio Ben Torrell, the platform would have made a fork or parallel copy of the source code of the program to use it in this tool as if it were its own.

Although Torrell detailed that companies can use OBS in their applications and launch these types of full forks, they must comply with the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL), something that TikTok would not have done.

The platform has not made this version 2 agreement available to all users because it uses the open source OBS Studio in its new recording and streaming software.

In order to repair this mistake, this spokesperson has reached out to TikTok to work together. “We are committed to dealing with GPL violations in good faith and, in the case of TikTok / ByteDance, we would be happy to have a friendly working relationship with them as long as they comply with the license,” he has stated in a post.

At the moment, the company has not officially commented on these accusations.

The European Commission has adopted new rules to put its software in open source, which will allow them to be publicly accessible when they represent a benefit for citizens, companies and public services.

This decision follows a study commissioned by Brussels that showed that investment in open source software generates a return four times higher. The initiative seeks that these software improve the digital processes of companies and public services and in this way the Commission helps the technological transition that it wants to promote in Europe.

The Community Executive will make its software available to citizens in open source in a single repository to facilitate access and reuse. Before switching to open source, each piece of software will be scrutinized for security, confidentiality, or intellectual property violations.

Open source software impacts security

The Commission services will thus be able to publish the source code of the software they use in less time and with less paperwork, something that has been applauded by the Budget Commissioner, Johannes Hahn, who has pointed out that this type of software has “great advantages” and has indicated that this is a field in which the EU can play a leading role.

“The new rules increase transparency and help the Commission, as well as citizens and companies in Europe, to benefit from the development of open software,” said the Austrian commissioner.

In this sense, he has defended that pooling efforts to improve the software also brings mutual benefit since Brussels will have access to improvements made by other developers. “This can also improve security, as external and independent specialists check the software for bugs and security flaws,” Hahn said.

Boston Fed Senior Vice President of Secure Payments and Fintech Research, James Cunha and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are working to develop the digital dollar.

According to what was expressed by Cunha, it is expected that the first part of this project will be ready in the middle of the third quarter of the year, adding that the investigations carried out clearly comprise an agnostic approach, which means that it does not intend to exclude the blockchain network.

“We are trying to understand what is the set of supporting technologies for a CBDC. We are trying to build with the MIT a system that can be implemented through different mechanisms, that involves other banks or actors and that even goes directly to consumers”, as reported by the specialist.

He stressed: “What we propose is that the prototype platform that we are building can satisfy the needs of all the actors involved.”

Another of the data confirmed by the specialists is that it continues to evaluate various initiatives in the private sector, all of them linked to open source distributed ledger technology.
