Woofun AI reports that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang posted his first personal tweet to share an open letter titled "Open Weights and U.S. AI Leadership." The document is co-signed by NVIDIA alongside over 20 technology entities, including Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Andreessen Horowitz, Hugging Face, IBM, Mistral AI, Palantir, Perplexity, Mozilla, and Y Combinator.

The letter asserts that open-weight models allow anyone to download, inspect, modify, and run AI on their own infrastructure, thereby expanding access to the AI economy and strengthening market competition. It acknowledges risks associated with open weights but argues against bans, proposing instead that openness enhances AI and network security defenses. The signatories urge policymakers to expand hash rate resource access, invest in shared training facilities, and avoid premature restrictions. Huang stated, "The world needs cutting-edge closed source models as well as cutting-edge open models."
