Nvidia's Jensen Huang is backing open models in a public letter, arguing that they strengthen safety and cybersecurity, speed up innovation, and support sovereignty.
The post also frames the debate as one where the world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models, while mocking Anthropic's warning about existential risk as self-serving and contrasting it with Nvidia's pro-open stance.
