🌐 Community Open Source

AI open-source projects from Singapore's universities, international corporate labs, and startups.

💡 Singapore's open-source AI work goes well beyond the government's own projects. Salesforce's Singapore lab produced the BLIP family, a cornerstone of global vision-language AI; NUS-incubated Colossal-AI is one of the most popular distributed-training frameworks; and NTU's OpenMMLab is a de facto standard in computer vision.
