chongdashu · x · 2026-07-25
Jensen Huang’s open-weights argument says AI is at an inflection point similar to open-source software in the 1980s: startups, hospitals, universities, and small businesses should be able to build on advanced models without training from scratch or paying frontier prices.
The quote is being framed as a major industry thesis, especially because the letter is backed by NVIDIA, YC, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir, a16z, and others.
