IBM is contributing 3 open-source projects—Docling, Data Prep Kit and BeeAI—to the Linux Foundation. This move signals not only the potential growth of these projects but also IBM’s ongoing commitment to open-source AI.

“We're continuing our long history of contributing open-source projects to ensure that they're easy to consume and that it's easy for others—not just us—to contribute,” says Brad Topol, IBM Distinguished Engineer and Director of Open Technologies, in an interview. Topol also chairs the Governing Board of the LF AI & Data Foundation, a group hosted under the Linux Foundation focused on advancing open-source innovation across artificial intelligence and data technologies.

Each project is focused on an essential part of the AI development stack. As the industry matures, innovation driven by the broader developer community in these areas is key to making AI enterprise ready.
