Pruna Open Source Release

Heather Meeker

Congratulations to Pruna on its open source release of its AI model optimization framework!

This open-source package has two main features: combination of optimization algorithms (including caching, quantization, pruning, distillation and compilation techniques), and evaluation metrics (to help understand how compression affects your models across different dimensions – from output quality to resource requirements).

This release demonstrates that AI is not “killing” open source software; open source is emerging as the picks and shovels to use AI, and that is part of COSS’ bright future.

Heather is an attorney and internationally-known specialist in OSS licensing and COSS. She is the primary drafter of many software licenses, including Elastic 2.0, and served on the core drafting team for Mozilla Public License 2.0 and the PolyForm licenses. She has authored multiple books on open source, including From Project to Profit: How to Build a Business Around Your Open Source Project. She is a partner at Tech Law Partners and formerly a founding general partner at OSS Capital.
