Open-Source AI & Open Models Reading List

Interconnects publishes a curated open-model reading list covering release strategy, US-China competition, adoption data, and a narrowed 4-6 month open-closed frontier gap.

The list, updated September 11, 2026, compiles essays on open-model strategy, licensing gradients, safety of open weights, adoption data, and Chinese open-source history. It notes leading open models have come from Chinese labs since roughly 2024, citing Kimi K3 and GLM-5.2/5.3, and that the open-closed gap has narrowed to roughly 4-6 months. It also documents Western adoption of Chinese models, including Perplexity's use of DeepSeek R1 and Thomson Reuters moving to Qwen, which has drawn lawmaker probes at DoorDash, Airbnb, Anysphere/Cursor, and Apple.

From Parameters to Answers: How LLMs Retrieve and Use Their Internal Knowledge

Interpretability study traces how Qwen, Llama, and Gemma route query information and internal knowledge across layers when answering questions.

Researchers used layerwise interventions on hidden states to separate query-routing signals from target knowledge in language models, testing Qwen, Llama, and Gemma on country-continent questions with varied answer types. A pair-conditioned request direction strengthens before interventions alter downstream knowledge, opening a causal window while answer-supporting content is still forming. Trajectories differ by model: Gemma shows a partially overlapping mid-layer routing profile, while Llama has no sustained routing-effect window under the same gates.

Researchers open-source a Wi-Fi cyber range for security training

NTNU and Aegean researchers open-source a software-emulated Wi-Fi cyber range using mac80211_hwsim with LLM-assisted scenario building.

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the University of the Aegean published a design and prototype for a cyber range dedicated to IEEE 802.11 security training, emulating access points and clients with mac80211_hwsim, Linux namespaces, hostapd, wpa_supplicant, dnsmasq, and FreeRADIUS. The platform bundles Aircrack-ng, Wireshark, and custom tools WPAxFuzz and Bl0ck, and can convert plain-language scenario descriptions into deployable definitions via a locally hosted Llama model. A working prototype covering scenario creation and deployment is on GitHub; monitoring, access control, and orchestration zones remain future work.
