Open AI models and the case for broader economic competition

A September 15, 2026, post quotes Jensen Huang at the All-In Summit saying AI-native companies received $400 billion in venture funding over the preceding six months, and 80% of those companies use open models. He argues that open models enable economy-wide competition and says the vast majority of global open-source contributions come from China. On adapting downloaded models, he is quoted saying: “We fork it. We improve it. We make it ours.” A separate post attributes to Huang the prediction that every company will use both closed and open-source models.
