Nathan Lambert publishes the essential open-models reading list
kevinsxu · x · 2026-10-08
Nathan Lambert (Interconnects) shared his curated reading list on open models, built for getting comprehensively up to speed and updated over time. Foundations include Bill Gurley on open-source strategy, Zuckerberg on why Meta releases open models, Irene Solaiman's "gradient of release" framing, and Lambert's take that open models will power custom enterprise agentic workflows. The list also links to analyses he co-wrote on the real technical effects of distillation.
