Tech Giants Sign Letter Backing Open AI Weights

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang published a letter titled Open Weights and American AI Leadership arguing that open AI models strengthen safety, cybersecurity, innovation, and national sovereignty. The letter was signed by NVIDIA, Microsoft, Palantir, Dell, Meta, Mistral, Fireworks AI and over thirty organizations. Reports differ on OpenAI participation, with some noting it joined the coalition and others claiming it skipped the NVIDIA-led effort while lobbying separately. Satya Nadella and Mark Zuckerberg publicly endorsed open-weight models. The document addresses Congress directly on preserving access to maintain American competitiveness.
