NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made his first post on X on July 24, sharing a joint letter signed by 25 companies and organizations, including Microsoft and Meta, that calls for caution in regulating open-weight AI models. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google did not sign. The letter argues open-weight models strengthen safety and cybersecurity and support AI sovereignty, and that the world needs both advanced closed and open models.
The letter does not oppose all enforcement. It says intellectual property infringement should be addressed, but open-weight models as a whole should not be regulated, and techniques such as model distillation should not be restricted across the board. The signatories instead propose individual legal measures against misuse.
The context is the advance of Chinese models like Kimi and Qwen, which has pushed the US administration to consider stricter rules over IP concerns involving Chinese companies. Huang wrote that AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country, and that the world needs both the most advanced closed models and the most advanced open models.
