that they described that kind of go out of their way to take that shot at open source models.

You saw it with respect to cyber, for example, or with respect to bio threats, things like that.

I mean, I've seen that type of language repeatedly that open models lack guardrails or the guardrails can be taken off and therefore it's a problem.

And I think, again, they're trying to create ideas or put predicate facts in the public record to justify an action later on.

And I think it's just a matter of time before they feel like they're at a position where maybe they can push for that type of ban directly.

They're not quite there yet.

Oh, they'll still use it.

Sure.

They're going to leapfrog us.

Sure, you'll put the U.S.

on an island.

Well, first of all, as we all know, what does it mean to ban an open-weight model?

It's a file.

It's a bunch of numbers that you can run on your laptop.

But what it will do is, you think about all the cloud service providers who run open models, they will stop doing that because they've got to comply with the law.

And so all this infrastructure that's been built up,

it will get much harder to use open models in the United States.

Now the rest of the world will continue to benefit from them because there's a tremendous benefit in terms of cost and customization and control that you get with an open model.

Nick, can you find Elon's tweet?

This is an order of magnitude.
