Dean Ball states he hopes the US will build a better narrative around open-source models, acknowledging the efforts of Thinking Machines, NVIDIA, and AI2 in driving this forward.
His core conclusion is that the best future should feature strong roles for both open- and closed-source models. Betting on only one side—whether "open only" or "closed only"—is not the ideal choice.
