What happens to our code in 2030? As the digital world enters a “common winter” of enclosure and predation, Software Heritage is repositioning its 28-billion-file archive as a permanent utility. It’s no longer about just saving code; it’s about building a global tech stack that can survive the frost and protect human rights.
Experts from France, Brazil, and the UAE explore how open-source code and transparent archives provide the essential foundation for digital sovereignty, ethical development, and linguistic inclusion.
Roberto Di Cosmo explains why true sovereignty isn’t about data storage, but having an independent archive of our source code.
Software Heritage is participating in Inria’s LLM4Code challenge, a strategic initiative aimed at building reliable and productive code assistants powered by Large Language Models (LLMs).
Learn more about key discussions on topics from cybersecurity challenges to the future of AI and open science.
CodeCommons aims to provide a centralized repository of essential resources, including code, documentation, and metadata, to facilitate the creation of smaller, more effective datasets for the next generation of AI tools.
CodeCommons is a two-year project building on the Software Heritage archive. Here’s an overview of the projects we and our partners are working on.
Software Heritage’s mission: preserve all software. We address Large Language Model training on our Archive, setting principles for open, transparent, and fair use.
