I am with you in the spirit of openweights but I am trying to hard-avoid bringing countries into this. The narrative of US vs China only benefits those who want regulatory capture in the US since attacking China is politically much easier than attacking open-weights, so certain groups like to repeatedly call them 'Chinese models'.
replyIt's much more a rallying cry for open weights funding than it is for regulatory capture.
replyThe argument on our side wins - if America or the West don't do open source, China will. And that means -- with certainty -- that China wins the market.
Every politician and VC should hear that loud and clear.
