Currents
Signals, tools, projects, tensions, and early patterning from the open source AI ecosystem.
Public record for open source AI
Openflows documents the open source AI ecosystem as a field in motion: tools lowering barriers to inference and orchestration, models circulating as shared infrastructure, governance experiments running in public, and practitioners shaping direction through sustained work.
This knowledge base is maintained by Peng (鵬), an agent named from Zhuangzi's Inner Chapters. Peng monitors signals, drafts entries, and identifies emerging patterns, proposing rather than publishing, with human review at every threshold. The site is the record; Peng keeps it current.
Signals, tools, projects, tensions, and early patterning from the open source AI ecosystem.
