Core offering

The AI Alliance is a non-profit consortium that advances open-source AI through member-driven working groups, producing open foundation models, agent frameworks, evaluation benchmarks, and trusted data initiatives. Its offerings are released as free open-source software on GitHub and disseminated via community programs (Office Hours, meetups), supporting collaborative AI research across agents, models, data, safety, and governance.

Product overview

The AI Alliance is a global non-profit consortium (501(c)(3) organization) co-founded by IBM and Meta, with over 200 member organizations, dedicated to advancing open, safe, and responsible AI through open innovation. The organization's product portfolio centers on the Open Agent Hub ecosystem—which includes AgentLabUI (AI workbench for building agents), Gofannon (agent tools), Agent UI (user-facing delivery layer), and MCP-Agent with Deep Orchestrator (open-source agent frameworks)—and Project Tapestry (federated AI model training platform). The portfolio also features domain-specific foundation models including Llamarine (maritime), SemiKong (semiconductor), GEO-Bench-2 (geospatial evaluation), and Dana/OpenDXA (industrial AI). Additional offerings include evaluation tools (EvalAssist, Evaluation Reference Stack), data initiatives (OTDI, SYNTH), validated deployment patterns, and community programs (Office Hours, meetups). The architecture is a platform-plus-modules design where Open Agent Hub serves as the central collaboration community, with specialized products addressing domain-specific AI, evaluation, data trust, and enterprise deployment.

Products and services

• Project Tapestry An open-source platform for globally federated development of frontier AI models, enabling distributed training where institutions, industries, and nations co-train shared open foundation models while retaining data sovereignty and control over their own derivatives.
• Open Agent Hub A collaborative community hub of open-source AI projects and domain-specific workgroups focused on making AI agents successful in real-world enterprise applications through experimentation and reference architectures.
• AgentLabUI An AI practitioner's workbench functioning as an AI switchboard with models, tools, and MCP server connections, enabling teams to swap LLMs across providers, build modular tools, and deploy agents to LangChain, Bedrock, and other frameworks with SSO and secure tenancy.
• Gofannon A set of agent tools for building AI agent front-end user interfaces, enabling organizations to provide non-technical staff with clean, intuitive access to AI agents created in AgentLabUI.
• MCP-Agent An open-source framework for building AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling connection of LLMs to MCP servers for tool calls, context gathering, and decision-making in complex workflows including deep research.
• Deep Orchestrator An agent architecture within MCP-Agent designed for deep research workflows, using planner LLMs, dynamic subagents, FIFO TODO queues, external memory/knowledge banks, and deterministic plan verification for complex task completion.
• Llamarine A maritime large language model built on Llama 3.1 70B for the maritime industry, providing deterministic, regulation-compliant guidance for collision avoidance, COLREGs interpretation, and operational decision-making.
• SemiKong A fully open foundation model for the semiconductor industry, developed by Aitomatic and Tokyo Electron as a template for domain-specific open models that compete with proprietary alternatives.
• GEO-Bench-2 An enhanced evaluation ecosystem for Geospatial Foundation Models aggregating 19 datasets into 9 capability subsets with flexible evaluation protocols, extensive baseline experiments, and a public leaderboard for benchmarking GeoFMs.
• CUGA (Configurable Generalist Agent Harness) An open-source, configurable generalist agent harness for enterprise work, ranked top-tier on AppWorld and WebArena benchmarks, with configurable reasoning modes, OpenAPI/MCP/LangChain tool integration, multi-agent orchestration, enterprise policy system, and Python SDK.
• EvalAssist An open-source tool from IBM Research for building trustworthy evaluation pipelines using LLM-as-a-Judge, supporting direct assessment, pairwise comparison, bias checks, and chain-of-thought explanations built on Unitxt.
• Dana Agent Framework An open framework for building reliable, domain-aware agents that connect language models to real-world tools and workflows, part of the Open Agent Hub ecosystem.
• Dana An AI-powered programming language that generates code from natural language descriptions, and an open-source agentic OS that unifies natural language, symbolic reasoning, and structured execution in a language purpose-built for agents.
• OpenDXA An open-source agent framework for industrial applications, enabling domain-specific agentic AI systems for manufacturing, logistics, and other industrial use cases.
• GEO-Bench An open benchmark suite for evaluating geospatial foundation models (GeoFMs), supporting open research at the intersection of AI and Earth observation with datasets for land cover, building detection, and change detection.
• Open Trusted Data Initiative (OTDI) A catalog of open datasets scored by trust, built on a metadata specification for data provenance, lineage, and utility, ensuring AI systems are only as trustworthy as the data they are built on.
• SYNTH Open standards and tooling for synthetic data generation, helping the community build datasets that respect provenance and licensing requirements.
• Validated Patterns Reference architectures and proven implementation patterns for deploying open AI in enterprise environments, bridging the gap between experimentation and production deployment.
