The team is seeking suggestions for additional D.C. policy contacts.
let's goo!
Decided to go to DC next week to talk directly with policymakers. Not sure how impactful it will be but with everything happening, feels like a good time to share more about open-source AI, transparency, concentration of power, the real risks vs the real benefits. Who do you think I should meet there (Congress members, WH people, public orgs,...)?
Many users praised Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue for his White House meeting on open-source AI policy, viewing it as vital representation the open weights community needed.

@ClementDelangue Rooting for you
@ClementDelangue Thanks Clem, it’s not easy.
I hope you have a good trip, framing local AI like the second amendment would probably work
The pros/cons of openness in AI is in discussion again, so my boss headed over to DC to discuss. Let us know if you’d like to chat!

@ClementDelangue good luck
@ClementDelangue set the example clem!
@ClementDelangue YAY LETS GO
@ClementDelangue Thank you, Clem!
@ClementDelangue I'm semi-excited that you'll tell them about local inference, but also semi-afraid it might be misinterpreted as dangerous
@ClementDelangue Amazing
@ClementDelangue @huggingface go go go
@ClementDelangue hmm, it seems like the house is too far to the left above the text.
@ClementDelangue Thank you
@ClementDelangue I think this is a big step, but also as a precaution since I don't trust the government we should be making local backups of the weights and datasets stored on H and start uploading them to torrents, Anna Archives, and archive.
@ClementDelangue LFG!!
@ClementDelangue Thank you!
@ClementDelangue Open-source AI in DC? Good luck keeping it open in those closed corridors.
@ClementDelangue Big week, hope it sparks real momentum :)
@ClementDelangue this is exactly the kind of representation the open weights community needed right now. respect for making the trip.
@ClementDelangue good luck out there
@ClementDelangue hugeeee
