NVIDIA and Partners Form Open Secure AI Alliance

NVIDIA has teamedmed up with around 35 industry giants, including Microsoft, Meta, and OpenAI, to form the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI) and signed an open letter advocating for open-weight models. Jensen Huang emphasized in his first post that attackers already use frontier AI; defenders need a mixed ecosystem of open and closed models, viewing open-source as a defensive asset rather than a liability.

NVIDIA announced it is opening its models, weights, data, and research to the alliance, including the open-source NOOA agent framework. Signatories of the "Open Weights and American AI Leadership" letter span the model, cloud, chip, and security sectors, including AMD, IBM, GitHub, Hugging Face, CrowdStrike, Palantir, lmsysorg, and radixark.

The letter outlines core proposals: expanding compute access for startups and researchers, investing in shared training assets (like datasets and eval frameworks), avoiding premature restrictions on open models, and preventing innovation offshoring. It notes that closed models aren't inherently safe, as concentrating advanced capabilities creates single points of failure. Conversely, open weights foster industry-wide competition and democratize AI benefits.

The list of signatories continues to grow, but notable AI executives and entities (like Anthropic, Elon Musk, Andy Jassy, and Dario Amodei) have yet to sign. Some netizens mocked Anthropic (which implies "human-centric") for not signing, though this reflects personal opinion.

为什么重要

This move signals that NVIDIA-led tech giants are building a united front for open AI through alliances and policy advocacy. They aim to shape open models into the cornerstone of cybersecurity and innovation at the regulatory level, preventing absolute monopolies by a few closed-source providers and profoundly impacting global AI policy and the industry landscape.
