Open Source, Open Future: Governments Embrace a Better Model for AI

Artificial intelligence is shifting from pilots to daily operations. For state IT leaders, the challenge is adopting AI responsibly, affordably, and at scale.

This paper shows why open source is the most sustainable approach—cutting costs, avoiding vendor lock-in, and ensuring transparency.

Inside you'll learn:

• How smaller AI models reduce compute needs and run on existing infrastructure.
• Training tools like InstructLab that empower staff to fine-tune AI without deep expertise.
• Flexible deployment options across cloud, edge, and on-premises.
• Real-world results: faster services and greater efficiency.

A must-read roadmap for leaders balancing innovation, accountability, and limited resources.
