“I don't mean we need to open source our research. I think that's what gives us the lead.”
“we need to open up our models and uh start releasing more open weights models which as we know are not nearly as useful.”
What’s in it
- Argues opening model weights—not research—preserves a lab's competitive lead
- Explains why open-weight models are harder to 'leapfrog' than open research
- Announces a subscription offering discounted access to open-weight models

wouldn't. I think the development of a technology this transformative is deeply uh tied to the ideals of the people and the nation that's building it and to instill those values in the future of this technology we need to keep the lead. So I don't mean we need to open source our research. I think that's what gives us the lead. I think [snorts] we need to open we need to open up our models and uh start releasing more open weights models which as we know are not nearly as useful. you can use um and extract the traces and and train more you know your copycat models on them more easily but not in a way that can leaprog and this would make models uh more usable by the industry in a way that allows more competition and adoption and better price and value for customers and I think that's how we keep our lead during this very critical moment me and client believe so much in this open weights future that we launched uh an openw weightight subscription plan earlier this week that through volume uh based discounts and partnerships uh with inference host providers we can offer significant discounts compared to paying for these models um at direct API cost um and we plan on continuing to increase the usage quota for these models as they become cheaper uh you can sign up at that link client.bot/pass bot/pass.
