Public record for open source AI

Follow what is moving. See what is stabilizing.

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.
