Tech know-how to go: Open source vs. proprietary models of generative AI

The debate about proprietary versus open source development models has been going on in the software industry for decades, well illustrated by the example of Microsoft versus the Linux operating system. For some time now, it has also been taking place for generative artificial intelligence models. What are the advantages (+) and what are the disadvantages (-)? Our tech know-how to go explains.

Proprietary models:

  • + customised support and specialist knowledge of the provider
  • + High level of reliability
  • + Existence of service level agreements (SLAs) and technical support
  • + Security standards, especially for business-critical processes
  • + Simple integration into the existing infrastructure
  • - Higher costs, for example due to licence fees
  • - Dependence on one provider

Companies in favour of proprietary models: OpenAI, Microsoft and Google

Open Source:

  • + more transparency
  • + reduced latency
  • + improved because customised performance
  • + significantly greater control over own data through open source code
  • + lower risk of data breaches or unauthorised access
  • + cost efficiency
  • - Misuse possible

Companies favouring open source AI models: IBM, Meta, Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, Oracle, ServiceNow, Sony, SoftBank and Dell Technology.

Why artificial intelligence needs ExaFlop computers

Exaflop supercomputers for artificial intelligence are needed to provide the computing power required for complex AI algorithms, big data analysis, modeling and simulations, and to enable greater scalability for the increasing demands of AI.

ParTec AG Modular Super and Quantum Computing

ParTec AG specialises in the development and manufacture of AI supercomputers based on its modular high-performance computing (HPC) systems and quantum computers (QC) as well as the associated system software. The offering also includes consulting and support services in all areas of the development, construction and operation of these modern systems. The concept of dynamic modular system architecture (dMSA) is the result of more than ten years of research and was developed by ParTec as a novel system design for massively parallel high computing systems. The dMSA and the underlying ParaStation Modulo Software Suite, which was developed and is maintained by ParTec, have proven to be particularly suitable for the complex requirements of massive computing power in artificial intelligence. Further information about the company and ParTec AG's innovative solutions in the field of high-performance computing and quantum computing can be found at www.par-tec.com.
