Axios reports that OpenAI and Anthropic are aligning against open-weight models, arguing that wider release of model weights could create risks that hurt their own businesses.
The story suggests the two companies are converging on a policy posture that frames open models not just as a technical choice, but as a competitive and regulatory issue, with implications for China, the Trump administration, and the broader AI market.
