A new report demonstrates more than 20 administrative sources that have more than 20 of the world’s half.
The report is favorable European Venture Capital Company Runa CapitalRuna open source start (Ross) Index Since 2020. Index, quarterly updates on the fastest growing projects, « Stars » are a metric that has something similar to « like » social media. Starting in 2023 Produces annual reportsHighlight the most popular commercial opening source beginnings in a certain year.
Last year’s report Demonstrated AI and data infrastructure was a driving request for open source tools with Langchain LLM strikes the polar position in the Ross index for an open source frame to build centered applications.
This year this is a similar story of 20 of the best 20 companies from 11 to 11.
The Ross index is very well healed and noted that there is no old open source project. Classification projects must be closely related to a commercial company (ie the seller-LED project), ie there are no projects. In addition, these companies must be under 10 years old; raised less than $ 100 million in financing; and be completely independent – so it’s not a derivative or clearly listed.
Stale
At the highest point in the 2024 Ross Index Activationa combinator alum This is an open source tool for LLMS Meta calls and Depth Local (ie desktop). Ollada GitHub Star Number About 76,000 to 2024, about 76,000 increased by about 76,000 (over the past few months) since more than 135,000 stars).
The next in the list Zed industryThe cross platform is Joint Code Editor « It is designed for high-effective cooperation with people and AI. » ZED project was around for a while, but this Only open source went In January 2024 and he won more with the rest of the year 52,000 Github stars.
In third place LanggeniusCompany behind the development platform of open source LLM application Watch. The project has received more than 43,000 new GitHub stars Last year, 326%, about 57,000 to a figure of about 57,000 to more than 84,000 stars.
And then you have ComfyiAn open source node-based application to create pictures, videos and audio using generative AI models. Project GitHub Star Number Up to 61,900 stars increased last year.
Rounds up five All handsCompany behind the open source platform called Openly To build software development agents. Openhandhhands won 39,600 GitHub stars by the end of last March, and 12,000 stars have been added since today.
Last year, the Ross index shows explosive growth in AI and LLMs, as well as how hot the development of the open source in the world of zed Astral UB (No. 9) Both are in the top 10. Elsewhere, the presence of a PDF manipulation Stirling PDF (№ 7), Financial Management Program Maybe finance (№ 8) and remote desktop software Rustdesk (No. 17), indicates that self-hospitable self-hospitable tools are still high demand.
And Ethereum Blockchain-focused Fuel (No. 12), Crypto / Web3 shows that it is vibrant and kicking.

Given that the contributions from all corners of the world can participate, an open source program was always distributed with its own nature. This is also for the projects that often lead the seller; However, commercial institutions are generally the center of attraction – even means that it is formally included.
The Ross index for last year is in San Francisco, in six of the best 20 Ross’s start, in Canada, three, Europe and Europe (UK, Switzerland, Hungary and Czech Republic, Czech Republic, Czech Republic and Czech Republic) are Singapore and China.
Methodology
There are other ways to watch « hot » open source projects. Two Sigma facilities operate Open source indexUnless special attention to commercial startups, which is similar to the Ross Index, except to demonstrate the best 100 projects, offers different ways of filtering.
And GitHub itself offers Top Trend Project ListAgain without special attention to commercial enterprises.
It’s also worth looking at methodology behind the ross index. GitHub « Stars » can be a imperfect metric because it simply shows « likes », unlike one’s active use or tracking. Elderly projects will naturally buy more « stars », so the Runa quarterly reports are aimed at the absolute number of new stars in the annual report within 90 days and within the year.
This also considers that the annual report may seem completely different to quarterly reports, which will not always be adapted to the immediate relative growth samples.
There may be some problems around those classified as « open source ». Many of the projects in the list were really recognized Copylleft or Open Source License AllowingThis is not a serious condition of the Ross index. Runa, more than the open source « commercial perception », not more, Official open source definition. Thus, a company broadcasting the program under the public license next to the server (Sspl), for example, will still be like an open source, though Open Source Initiative is not Rubbertamped SSPL as « open source ».
Again, the index is a useful indicator that only the open source technology is open, and what companies are trying to create employees to work them.
