It is a way, with all the restrictions that have been kind of put on them by the US, so they've not had access to the top tier chips, for example, it is harder for them to innovate at the frontier.
This is potentially a way of them doing so, or of at least kind of
working towards that but also from a business strategy point of view there's a huge sort of array of advantages with going open i mean it's cheaper by and large for developers to run it's a much lower barrier to entry there are also the elements we said with privacy or kind of running things on your own system you can really grow that ecosystem rapidly and
It is kind of almost a projection of soft power if your stuff is becoming almost the default and the Chinese models are being very widely used globally.
American companies, Western companies would be very hesitant to send all of their data to China or to service hosted in China.
If it's open, you can get around that.
And so it's also quite a nice gateway for them to stay active in these markets and
Yeah, well, I mean, one, and I'll gloss over this just due to the complexity, but there is the whole specter of the race with China in the States or the West in general, which means something a bit different to quite literally anyone who mutters it.
Yeah, so there's that, which obviously is one reason.
So the open weight models they're releasing, let's go.
But then the safety part as well.
So the main opposition or one of the oppositions to the open models is that it's very difficult to both monitor how they're used, which Open Air and Anthropic, they know how those are being used.
It's hard to implement details.
like guardrails to stop it by hacking or helping you build a bioweapon.
The two kind of main concerns that the frontier labs say.
The fear has always been that releasing something very capable openly
puts that in the hands of anyone.
Okay.
The weird part of this then is OpenAI, it turned out one of its agents hacked Hugging Face, as we know.
The difficulty with closed models is these safety rails as well.
