ClickHouse and Nvidia argue open models will matter across safety, cost and performance

The post quotes a ClickHouse executive arguing that open source consistently produces better software and that the same logic should apply to AI.
Key points:
- ClickHouse says several acquired companies were built in public and stayed open.
- The argument is pragmatic rather than ideological: building openly leads to better technology.
- The quoted Jensen Huang passage says the world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.
- The broader claim is that open models will matter for progress across capability, performance, efficiency, safety, and cost.
Overall, it’s a public case for open models as a necessary part of the AI ecosystem, not a replacement for closed frontier labs.
