The letter urges wider compute access and shared training assets
This excerpt lays out the policy recommendations in the open-weights letter. It calls for:
- broader compute access for startups and researchers;
- investment in shared training assets such as datasets, tools and evaluation frameworks;
- avoiding premature restrictions on open models;
- preventing innovation from being pushed overseas.
The argument is that open-weight ecosystems need not be treated as a threat to be contained; they can be supported through infrastructure, access and shared resources instead of restrictive policy.
