NVIDIA and more than two dozen other companies have started the Open Secure AI Alliance for helping to keep open-source AI models secure. The other founding members range from Microsoft to Adobe, IBM, Red Hat, SpaceX, OpenClaw, Palantir, and others.

The Open Secure AI Alliance aims to help increase the security and safe usage around open-source AI models and builds off the Linux Foundation's Akrites initiative and OpenSSF. The Open Secure AI Alliance aims to remediate and disclose vulnerabilities using open technologies as part of their initiative.

NVIDIA notes in today's announcement of this new industry alliance:

"The recent Hugging Face security incident delivered a clear reminder: cyber defenders need open, frontier agentic systems for self-defense. When closed AI tools — unable to distinguish attackers from defenders — blocked essential forensic analysis, Hugging Face ran the open-weight GLM 5.2 model on its own infrastructure to analyze more than 17,000 actions and contain the intrusion.

That incident showed a practical truth: when defenders cannot inspect, adapt and run advanced AI on their own infrastructure, their ability to respond is constrained at exactly the moment speed matters most. Companies and countries need open frontier defensive tools and techniques so critical industries can build security systems across a multi-vendor ecosystem and avoid single points of failure.

That is the mission of the Open Secure AI Alliance: to ensure defenders everywhere have open, frontier tools they can trust and control.
...
Defenders need both frontier closed models and frontier open models, working together, so they can choose the right system for the job and ensure that transparency, adaptation and sovereign control are available wherever security demands them."
