Adopt the Open edX AI policy?

Allow use of additional models, including open source models in particular, as @tecoholic mentioned on their forum post.

I have been experimenting with Opencode-go subscription (specifically deepseek-v4-flash model) along with chatgpt where the deepseek model acts as a worker that takes instruction from GPT 5.5/5.4/5.3-codex . It has helped a lot in terms of efficiently using my 20$ chatgpt subscription. So I agree with this stance.

@navin @tecoholic Would you be willing to submit the additional models you use for inclusion in the upstream policy? I asked about this at the town hall at the conference, and @sarina reiterated to send an email to submit specific additional models, so we should do so:

If you are interested in proposing an AI tool for review, you may contact oscm@axim.org, as described in the AI Contribution Policy.

This seems to be a liability issue, @feanil mentioned that the currently approved ones have guarantees in case someone sues over the use of content produced by their LLMs. We probably need to find a solution to be able to include open source LLMs outputs, as I agree that seems wrong to only allow the proprietary cloud ones in an open source project - but that’s what we can discuss there. Put me & help@ in CC if you write.
