Jensen Huang trolled to open-source CUDA; Anthropic faces open-source PR dilemma
ctjlewis · x · 2026-07-25
Commenters trolled the recent open-source manifesto by demanding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang open-source CUDA and GPU drivers if he truly believes in the cause.
The discussion highlights that signing the manifesto costs companies little, acting as a 'strategy credit.' It argues Anthropic is in a tricky PR spot: not signing aligns with their closed-source strategy and financial interests. Meanwhile, Chinese AI labs are expected to keep pushing open-source to pressure Washington.
