Jensen Huang’s first X post backs an open-weight AI letter signed by 20+ companies
机器之心 · wechat · 2026-07-24
A Chinese media article says NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang posted his first-ever X message and used it to share an open letter, “Open Weights and U.S. AI Leadership.” The letter argues that open-weight models are important because they improve access, competition, security, and national sovereignty.
The piece says the letter is backed by 20+ companies and organizations including NVIDIA, Microsoft, Meta, Hugging Face, Mistral and YC. It frames the debate as a broader open-vs-closed AI route fight, and links it to the controversy around Kimi K3, open-weight model releases, and U.S. concerns about model distillation and possible restrictions on Chinese open models.
