- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made his first post on X defending open AI models, alongside Google, OpenAI, and Meta, arguing against premature restrictions.

- Chinese open models like DeepSeek have challenged US AI firms, prompting Trump administration to consider banning them due to cybersecurity.
- Microsoft's open letter signed by major tech companies claims open weights strengthen competition and expand AI access, but acknowledges risks like loss of control.
- Huang stated that open models enhance safety, accelerate innovation, and enable sovereignty, advocating for both frontier closed and open models.
- The letter argues that the right response to risks is not prohibition but leveraging insights from open models to counter negative effects.
