The AI Alliance, a global non-profit consortium dedicated to open-source AI innovation, has announced Dana, a new open-source, AI-powered programming language, and the OpenDXA agent framework for industrial AI. Dana enables intent-driven development, where users can describe what they want to build and the language handles implementation. OpenDXA, the new open-source agent framework, is built for complex industrial AI agent systems that must handle highly specialized domain data, processes, and workflows, while collaborating with engineers and subject matter experts. Dana and OpenDXA are both open, collaborative efforts by AI Alliance members.

AI Alliance Japan

The non-profit also launched AI Alliance Japan, a new regional working group focused on advancing open research and open-source AI in Japan, while supporting the country’s AI sovereignty and industrial AI development. AI Alliance Japan is tasked with driving the open development of sovereign AI capabilities that address Japan’s specific cultural and economic contexts, with a particular focus on AI agents, data, models, and evaluation. The group will also work to advance open-source AI R&D for industrial sectors such as manufacturing, semiconductors, shipping, and navigation, where reliable, domain-enriched AI systems are essential. LLM-jp, an open-source national sovereign LLM project led by the National Institute of Informatics, will be one of the first initiatives supported by AI Alliance Japan.

Initial AI Alliance Japan members include Aitomatic, IBM, JSR, NEC, Panasonic, Red Hat, Mitsubishi Electric, the National Institute of Informatics, and SAKURA internet Inc.
