Open source AI models, paired with Pinterest’s proprietary tech, support multimodal search, personalized recommendations, ad targeting, and its newest feature — the AI-powered Pinterest Assistant.
How Open Source AI Reduces Costs for Pinterest
According to the CEO, open source AI helps Pinterest expand capabilities without driving up infrastructure costs. This means more advanced visual search and conversational shopping tools at scale.
Even with economic pressure tied to U.S. tariffs, Pinterest is leaning on these models to maintain high-quality performance while managing spend — helping protect margins as LLM-driven features evolve.
Pinterest CEO Touts Open Source AI for Product Discovery
Pinterest is evolving beyond inspiration into full product discovery powered by AI. The Pinterest Assistant blends text and image inputs, helping guide users toward personalized ideas and shopping suggestions.
As agentic commerce grows — where AI acts autonomously on behalf of users — open source AI may give Pinterest a smart, cost-effective edge compared to platforms relying solely on proprietary systems.
