Jensen Huang says Chinese open models grow the whole AI market, not fight it
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-07-25
In an Axios interview, Jensen Huang argues that Chinese open models are not adversarial to closed models — they expand the market by making high-quality AI more available.
He specifically says the market underestimated DeepSeek the first time and is doing the same with Kimi now. Huang also defends distillation as a fundamental part of intelligence: people and systems learn by absorbing knowledge from others, so learning from models and other sources should be seen as normal rather than suspicious.
