Jensen Huang's first X post champions open models via NVIDIA-signed letter
lvwerra · x · 2026-11-14
Thom Wolf (WolfSSL) recalls that AlexNet was trained on two NVIDIA gaming GPUs in 2012, and Jensen Huang understood what that meant before almost anyone else, betting the company on it. Weeks ago, Huang spent much of a meeting nerd-ing out over their $400 open-source microrobot — heat, chip FLOPs, power draw.
Huang's very first post on X shares a letter NVIDIA signed on why open models matter: AI will transform every industry and be built by every country; open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. "The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models." Wolf adds that open models have millions of builders — including many inside NVIDIA telling them to keep building in the open — and "We will."
