Anthropic, NVIDIA and the double standard around open source AI
mervenoyann · x · 2026-07-26
The thread argues that Anthropic should not be asked to open-source its valuable work, but also should not try to stop others from open-sourcing theirs.
A reply adds that NVIDIA has released useful open-source work such as Megatron, yet it is still inconsistent to demand openness from others while keeping most of its own most valuable assets closed.
