3 Shifts Edition (Nov 1 2024): Defining open-source AI, The changing US space industry, The expansions of GitHub’s Copilot

Hi everyone – welcome to your [AI-generated] 3 Shifts Edition.

Our first Shift delves into the fascinating debate about what is open-source AI. The Open Source Initiative’s release of its official definition this week is causing waves, with Meta – an OSI backer – publicly disagreeing with the definition.

Next, struggles in Boeing and Airbus’ space businesses alongside recent victories by SpaceX are pointing to a reshaping of the US space industry. SpaceX has lately been using its ascendancy to throw its weight around.

Finally, Microsoft-owned GitHub Copilot – the most widely used AI developer tool – announced an array of new updates that will expand Copilot’s universe. Perhaps most notably, Copilot will allow developers to switch among LLMs, loosening its ties to OpenAI.
