LAION - Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network

LAION, Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network, is a non-profit organization making machine learning resources available to the general public. We are a non-profit organization with members from all over the world, aiming to make large-scale machine learning models, datasets and related code available to the general public. We believe that machine learning research and its applications have the potential to have huge positive impacts on our world and therefore should be democratized. Releasing open datasets, code and machine learning models. We want to teach the basics of large-scale ML research and data management. By making models, datasets and code reusable without the need to train from scratch all the time, we want to promote an efficient use of energy and computing ressources to face the challenges of climate change.
