David Sacks Accuses Anthropic of Crushing Open Source AI
Sacks argues Anthropic targets open source AI models developed by Chinese firms.
David Sacks stated on the All-In podcast that Anthropic seeks to block American developers from using publicly available open source AI models originating from Chinese companies. He highlighted Cursor's use of the Kimi model as an example of legitimate post-training on public domain contributions. Sacks warned that restricting such access would harm American open source innovation and competition. Multiple tech figures including Beff Jezos, Brian Roemmele, and Josh Wolfe endorsed the comments, praising Sacks for defending open development. No formal actions or responses from Anthropic are confirmed in the sources.

DS David Sacks@DavidSacksThe entire tech industry (save for Anthropic) has come out in favor of open source AI. So what happens next? Will Anthropic change its lobbying efforts? Not likely. Now the gaslighting begins: “Nobody is trying to ban open source.” “We just want to limit who can use it.” “We…
