Why Nvidia and GPU clouds may prefer open-weight AI

The thread argues that the companies selling the picks and shovels—especially Nvidia and GPU cloud providers—have incentives to support open-weight models.
It frames open-weight AI as an economic system: open models can accelerate capability adoption, expand compute demand, and reinforce the infrastructure businesses underneath them. The point is less about ideology and more about how the market for models and the market for compute pull on each other.
