Launching a lean product quickly is one of the biggest challenges for any maker. What if you could tap into a global network of talent to accelerate your MVP, without the high costs or long development cycles? This talk will explore the core motivations and practical tools for integrating open source into your product or service to drastically reduce your time-to-market. We’ll dive into why some of the smartest makers are choosing to innovate in the open, and how that decision fuels a virtuous cycle of even greater progress. Drawing on real-world examples from the explosive world of generative AI, we'll show how projects like Hugging Face, LangChain, and open source GenAI have reshaped the product landscape.
