## ModelFront Announces OpenLoc
ModelFront launched OpenLoc, an open TMS built for AI, at Tech Week 2026 in San Francisco.

> In the AI era, open is winning more than ever. Free, open, AI-native enterprise translation management is key for localization teams to not just survive but thrive.
## OpenLoc Features
Teams can run raw ai workflows without ai tax, use any llm with context and rag, get free integrations, create dashboards, and manage via system-wide mcp.
## Why Open TMS Matters
Traditional tms software charges per seat and processed word, while ai features are add-ons. This causes shadow localization where teams skip enterprise translation.
## Open Code and Platform
OpenLoc source code is available under business source license 1.1, with public release on github on october 19, 2026.
## Hosting and Migration
Teams can host openloc themselves or get enterprise hosting and support. Migration between systems is easier with mcp and free integrations.
## Early Access Program
Modelfront offers early access with free migration support, ai credits, and custom integrations for selected companies.
## OpenLoc Launch Details
Openloc was announced at tech week 2026 with speakers from google, microsoft, deepL, modelfront, and others.
## What OpenLoc Means
Modelfront compares openloc to google supporting chrome and android, allowing teams to use any ai while keeping quality.
## Key takeaway

ModelFront launched OpenLoc, an open-source translation management system built for AI, to help enterprises use free AI tools without extra costs.
