Google backs open-weight AI models
Sundar Pichai publicly backed the push for open-source/open-weight models, saying Google has long benefited from open source, contributes heavily to it, and has made Gemma available as open-weight models through Google DeepMind.
The post is framed around Jensen Huang’s letter on why open models matter, reinforcing the broader industry split-and-convergence around open vs. proprietary AI. It is a clear signal that Google wants to be seen on the open-model side of the debate.
