    “OpenAI” signed the open weight pledge, which only makes sense given the company name and original values. They’ve had gpt-oss for quite a while, but it feels like a pretty half-assed effort for the purposes of virtue signaling. I’m not holding my breath for them to release an open weight model on par with GLM, Kimi, or Qwen.

      They’ve abandoned their openness ever since they saw the widespread success of ChatGPT and GPT3. They were really only "Open"AI around the GPT-GPT2 era.

    Funnily enough, OpenAI signed the open weights letter too.

    Sam Altman would do literally anything, say anything to make OpenAI look good. He would sacrifice his grandmother if he could, and I’m not one to say that lightly.

    Never has it been more clear what Capitalism is. It has fuckall to do with freedom and everything to do with sharecropping.

      it has nothing to do with either. its about private ownership. thats it. thats all it has ever been and thinking the government owning companies is better is silly.

        The government owning companies is better as shown by the countless examples of product and service degradation and inflation following privatization campaigns in the UK, Canada and elsewhere.

      The current economic regime is less like “capitalism” and more like “feudalism with corporations.”

        That depends on what you are calling Capitalism. I’m all for free markets and such, but Capitalism was never anti-feudal - first thing the Burghers did was marry their kids into Noble families. It was strictly about adding “man with enough money that he doesn’t work” to the protected class.

    “Using free Chinese models that you can run locally and offline is a security risk. People and businesses high on AI should be forced to use our expensive cloud-based models that funnel all their data through our servers and can be turned off or price-hiked by us at any moment!”

        kimi k3 is going to release on huggingface tomorrow. it will be open weight, assuming nothing gets between now and then. they just wanted a short exclusivity period.

        Trade secrets, too. Frontier providers have everything they need to help you, take what worked, then help your competitors.

      I get what you are saying, but its not just data egress, its how the model was trained. I’m thinking of models trained to inject security weaknesses, for example.

        I see no reason US based AI companies would not carry the same risk especially with the well documented cases of groups like the NSA openly asking US technology companies to provide back doors.

          For sure, that’s why I dont trust any of them. Its interesting because unlike open source, open weight models don’t tell you anything about what was included or excluded.

        Yes, rather we trust the capitalists who want to literally remove technology from our control and force us to use their cloud and their AI models that are built on good old American ingenuity and honesty, trust me bro you’re better off looking for weaknesses in our models by spending on tokens to see what happens .

        Not everything China does is a psyop.

    Using security as a convenient tool to sideline foreign competition is a slippery slope, especially from companies that built their own success on open research.

        Untill you want to protect consumers from something capitalists are doing. Then it’s all about not limiting innovation. In reality , innovation translates into additional fees, subscriptions, dynamic pricing and that kind of stuff.

        In a competitive market, there’d no longer be a US auto industry, except Tesla, and it wouldn’t survive much longer without massive subsidies.

        Perhaps. The difference with regard to OWAI, however, is that US companies have no alternatives to Chinese suppliers.
