LAION

LAION, or Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network, is a non-profit organization on a mission to make machine learning resources freely accessible to everyone. They build and share large-scale datasets, tools, and models that fuel open research, education, and environmentally conscious AI development — prioritizing the reuse of existing resources wherever possible. For researchers, students, and developers who believe that AI progress should be open and collaborative rather than locked behind proprietary walls, LAION is a foundational part of the ecosystem.
