At the All-In Summit, Jensen Huang said $400 billion of venture funding went into AI-native companies in the past six months, and 80% of them use open models — without them, startups couldn't build their dreams. He added that most of the world's open-source contribution now comes from China, but "once you download it, it's yours" — open models let entire economies compete instead of waiting on a few closed APIs.
