Wikipedia ( through the Wikimedia Foundation ) made the announcement that it would collaborate with several of the biggest AI organizations. using Wikimedia Enterprise, its business product, to repurpose Wikipedia articles on a large scale in a systematic and sustainable way, including Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Perplexity.

In essence, Wikipedia now has a more elegant way to do this, with accessibility designed for high quantity and a funding model that supports the project.

Who was the target of the announcement and what was it?

The announcement comes as Wikipedia celebrates its 25th anniversary and, most importantly, the base officially confirmed for the first time many partnerships that have been developing over the past year. Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral AI, and Perplexity are some of the well-known brands that have become" clients" of Wikimedia Enterprise, a business tool that facilitates the reuse and distribution of Wikimedia content ( and content from other Wikimedia projects ) for business purposes.

Additionally, it is mentioned that Nomic and Reef Media are already partners in this package, as well as other agreements that were previously mentioned, such as Ecosia, Pleias, and ProRata ( mentioned earlier ).

The key point here is that Wikipedia isn't just "letting people use it," but creating a framework to make that massive use more structured, faster, and more sustainable in a context where AI is copying, summarizing, and redistributing knowledge at scale.

Wikimedia Enterprise and" Wikipedia at AI scale" are the parties ' parties to the agreement.

Wikimedia Enterprise, a service created by the foundation to enable the business reuse of Wikipedia content, is at the heart of the agreement. This service provides tailored access for businesses that require size and frequency ( two issues that traditional cutting or informal access don't always deliver also ). Simply put, if a business carriages designs, whether it develops search engines or creates chatbots that respond to questions based on Wikipedia, this solution provides a more direct way to obtain that data at the "pace" demanded by its techniques. However, the scope is not just complex; it is also strategic. According to the content, these contracts give Wikipedia another way to continue operating in a time where much of its information is being reused by AI services and solutions that provide quick answers. And that particular aspect is very important: Wikipedia is not a "free dataset that lives in the air," but rather a knowledge system maintained by individuals at real costs ( throughput, operation, community ), and with a sizable user base. With more than 65 million content in more than 300 languages, the basis points to Wikipedia as one of the top 10 most popular websites in the world, to place it in perspective. and receive roughly 15 billion monthly views. In reality, that means that the AI that powers the majority of the computer is fed by it, and the" serving" of that information is now being formalized.
